ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall block having a front surface, a rear surface, side surfaces, a top surface, and a bottom surface. Each side surface comprises a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section, with the sections configured and arranged to allow a plurality of blocks to be arranged in a convex wall structure. The retaining wall block may be combined with one or more pins, which may engage vertically adjacent blocks and which may engage an end of an earth anchor. The retaining wall block may be cast in a mold box whose depth and width are configured and arranged to substantially approximate the depth and width of a standard sized pallet.
