Banc d'Arguin (No.2), Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Mauritania
This delicate brown sand is fine (0.6mm or less in diameter), and well sorted. It consists of mostly quartz, and well-rounded. Some of the grains have been stained reddish brown by iron oxide. There are a few grains of red or yellow siliceous rocks, too.
