DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2021.105683
Abstract: Abstract Boulder fields of granitic rocks have long been believed to be the result of subsurface spheroidal weathering and subsequent erosion of weathering products, such as saprolite, and the exhumation of corestones. However, the morphological… read more here.
