Chemically Weathered Surface of Basalt. Fossiliferous limestone bound together by fine grained carbonate cement where cement is weathering faster than fossils. Chemically weathered marble where weathering is preferentially occuring in cement. Well rounded and smooth cobbles from Massachusetts beach. Three Samples with Differential Weathering occuring along fine grained component of rock. Sample with Differential Weathering occuring along fine grained component of rock.
