"yardang" is a common noun, and hence, lowercase.
Not a proper noun (in the context of geology).

MW
yardang : a sharp-crested ridge carved by wind erosion from soft but coherent deposits (as clayey sand)

AHD
yardang
n. A long, sharp ridge of soft, clearly differentiated sediments rising between two troughs made by wind or water erosion and extending parallel to the direction of the wind or water flow.
