The hard inclusion on the right is an obstacle to glacial erosion. The resultant "tail" extends nearly parallel to the left. The unusual part of this feature is the nearly square form in front of the head. Note lens cap for scale.

This feature is on the side of a steep, nearly vertical wall. The dark bands running up and down are water stains. This feature has several friends nearby.
