A sailing stone from Racetrack Playa
Geology.com has multiple photos and some discussion of the sliding rocks at the playa in Death Valley. I like this one from Fresh Photons because it shows a right-angle turn. GPS-generated maps of the movements are posted here, and there are more pix here.
Addendum 2013: A hat tip to reader Bobbie who alerted me to a Smithsonian article offering a possible explanation of the stones' movements.
