This group collects the Inselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths subcategory's members whose own description gives them a flat or twin flat-topped summit rather than a rounded dome or a narrow peak: Mount Asgard's twin flat-topped granite towers on Baffin Island and the flat-lying summit of Italy's Pietra di Bismantova. This is this subcategory's smallest region-spanning group by shape, distinguished from the dome and peak groups by a summit plane rather than a rounded or pointed one.
