The Effect of Sandstone Composition on Distribution of Tafoni Landforms in the Aghajari Sandstone, Northwest of Masjed Soleyman, Iran

Figure 3

Geomorphic landforms in the study area. (a) Crest (more than 2 km) created by passing rivers from sandstone layers, (b) cliff and bulkhead (almost 10 meters) in F layer because of high matrix (77.8%) and low porosity (10%), (c) stone hillside (almost 20 meters) because of high porosity (22%) and low matrix (52%), (d) faults line in the layers width, and (e) geomorphic landforms map in the study area including crests rivers, cliff and bulkheads, faults, stone hillsides, and tafoni and honeycombs (THs) which covered about 65% of study area.
