Best Answer

Part of the harness for an oxen is a u-shaped piece of metal, which is fastened to a wooden halter, as the initial point of attachment of the loading system. This is called an oxbow.

The name is also given to the u-shaped bend in a river as it aggrades across a flattish landscape. Commonly, the oxbow is part of a complex series of them, and they are considered an attractive landscape. A set of oxbows may be called a scroll plain.

So the medium creating them is river erosion on a plainland.
