Darn and I just bought a new and much larger dictionary. I didn't really know how many words that have been made up just to describe the mining industry. And the rock and mineral words are very special, not that I sit at home reading a dictionary all day. With no training in it at first glance the words seem like a weird mixture of science language with Latin and other roots and things that somebody just made up. And, my new dictionary says that exfoliation is also produced by chemical forces producing differential stress within the rock. It doesn't say that it is strictly a surface phenomenon. It does say it is noticeable on surface where eroded. But if the stress exists in the rock at depth isn't drilling through it or opening up a stope going to release the stress and cause spalling?
