It depends on the respective process that removed the crust. If for example abrasion through wind born sand is responsible, then the term is "corrasion".

------------------------------

You will probably think I am a bit off the latch with this question
but here goes anyway... In the world of meteorite terminology, is
there a term or word which describes the loss of fusion crust (by
forces of nature) from stony meteorites. 'Spalling' possibly? The
loss of crust, part or all, seems to be a rather common occurrence
especially for some of the more friable stonys. With the crust gone,
the stone is 'denuded'?
