Abstract

Lowdermilk and Sundling have provided a welcome contribution to the knowledge of an important geologic and pedologic process. Examples of erosion pavement in differing scales are commonly to be found in nature. Among these are the cailloutis zones or pebble bands reported from the loessial deposits of western Europe by Breuil [1934] and summarized by Zeuner [1945], the boulder‐strewn slopes on such mountains as the northern Appalachians [Denny, 1938; Peltier, 1949] or the Erzgebirge [Budel, 1937] which once lay within the realm of periglacial climates, and the barren blocks of Scandinavia [Hogbom, 1926], central Germany [Büdel, 1937], eastern United States [Smith 1949], and elsewhere.
