@65dBnoise That looks like it is a cobble reworked from that distinctive boulder conglomerate immediately below it. The crazy angle is evidence of rapid deposition and burial. You can also see that it affected deposition for a while after it was moved and buried, creating a bump that persisted like a standing wave, resulting in a succession of vertically-climbing wavy cross stratification.

👍 ! That's the story I was looking for, detailed, describing exactly what we see, as if telling the story of an individual caught in action, instead of the story of the whole human race in one scoop. And these small stories slowly form a bigger story, like a puzzle being completed piece by piece, and help understand better what happened there and how it happened.

Thanks!
