Thor's Hammer is an iconic example of a hoodoo, a special type of rock formation common in the Badlands and surrounding areas.
Thor's Hammer was created by thousands of years of erosion and formed into the shape it is today by harder, more resistant "caprock" resting on soft, underlying rock layers.
