Abstract
Many of the so-called corestones have been developed from rocky blocks that have been apparently affected by subsurface physicochemical weathering that results in lamination, granulation, and eventually a puggy or stiff clay. The truth is that weathering takes advantage of a previous deformation structure and does not create it by weathering.
