Deposit: Locally the dune exhibits superficial concentrations of "heavy minerals". Dune has superficial concentrations of heavy minerals. Dune samples contained up to 40% heavy minerals but less than 10% TiO2. Samples collected at 200-ft. Intervals on south side of dune contained less than 1% TiO2. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Development: Samples collected systematically
