Abstract

Lester King’s criticism (King, Lester (1966): The Origin of Bornhardts. Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, Neue Folge 10; 97/8) of the hypothesis of exhumation of bornhardts from a deep regolith appears to rest upon two principal criteria: that “the height of bornhardts, sometimes 1000-1500 feet consonant with the measure of relief between earlier and current base-levels, surpasses any known depth of weathering in such rock types”, and, secondly, that “the zones of bornhardts are cyclically tansitional”.
