✦ Synopsis

Many tafoni occur on the faces of marine cliffs on three uplifted shore platforms with different altitudes and with known ages of emergence. The mean value of the ten largest depths of tafoni, D (an), was obtained and the period of their formation, t (years), was estimated. The relationship between the two variables was found to be D = 203 x (1e-o'oosc ).
