Earth pillar. Earth pillar erosion feature. This type of feature is also known as a demoiselle. The pillar is made of soft sedimentary rock,and it is topped by a flat cap of harder rock. Occasional heavy rains erode much of the pillar,but the neck is protected by the hard rock above it. Such structures are common in semi-arid areas,such as in these badlands in Utah,USA | |
