Dreikanter, wind-eroded stones C013 / 6564
Dreikanters. Dreikanters are three-sided ventifacts, which are wind-eroded stones. They usually occur in desert areas where strong winds together with sand account for the necessary abrasion of the rocks surface. These features may occur on large bedrock surfaces, but also on individual stones and pebbles, as seen in this example

Eroded Erosion Geological Mineral Pebble Pebbles Rock Stone Weathered Weathering Abrasion Cutouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of nature's artwork. Entitled "Dreikanter, wind-eroded stones C013 / 6564" it offers a glimpse into the remarkable world of geological erosion. The image captures a collection of Dreikanters, which are three-sided ventifacts formed through wind erosion. These unique formations typically emerge in desert regions where powerful winds and sand collaborate to wear down the rocks' surfaces. While they can manifest on extensive bedrock expanses, this particular example focuses on individual stones and pebbles. Against a pristine white background, each weathered pebble stands as a testament to the forces that shaped them. The studio shot emphasizes their intricate details while highlighting their mineral composition. Cut out from their natural surroundings, these ventifacts become isolated masterpieces worthy of admiration. Their smooth curves and distinct edges tell stories of centuries-long abrasion by relentless gusts. Presented by NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, LONDON/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties found within our planet's geological wonders. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary objects hold extraordinary tales when observed with curiosity and reverence for Earth's processes.
