dreikanter

DRY-kan-ter
A ventifact with three distinct wind-carved faces — a three-edged stone shaped by shifting wind directions over time, each face planed by sand-blast from a different angle. The dreikanter is the signature ventifact shape, found in deserts and on glacial outwash plains wherever loose sand and exposed stones coexist with persistent wind.
Etymology
German — drei (three) + Kanter (edges, from Kante, edge). Three-edger.
