    • Looks like granite. Since there are no cliffs that I can see, it may have been carried by a massive flood, or via glacier melt, notice boulders on outer river bank on other side. Where is this?

      Freeze and thaw. Water is an amazing eroding force.

    • I would say water seeped into a crack then froze, thus expanding and fracturing the rock.

      It is odd though, that the fracture is almost straight up and down.
