State	Oregon
Name	Dune sand
Geologic age	Holocene
Lithologic constituents	Major Unconsolidated > Coarse-detrital > Sand (Eolian)Large areas of windblown sand composed of rock-forming minerals, mostly feldspar and small amounts of quartz, and, in southeastern Oregon, also pumice
Comments	Eolian deposits not included in State map in La Grande area, but mapped in OR291, where it contains 0.5-1-m-thick accumulations of Mazama Aas (6.7 ka). Eolian deposits also mapped in the Hermiston area, northwestern Umatilla River Basin (OR292) near Columbia River
