Application of stratigraphic principles learned in another context can lead to error if applied uncritically to regolith profiles. We consider some misconceptions related to weathering processes, catenas, vertical or lateral movements, landscape lowering, equilibrium, and the relevance of past and present climates, and stress the need for care in both pure and applied regolith research.
