{table-cell} | Glass bead is 200 µ in diameter |

| *Location:* \\ | Zuun mod Elstei, 50 km east of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia; E 107°28'55.1"; N 47°47'27.5" |
| *Depositional facies:* \\ | _replace this with text about the dep facies_ |
| *Provenance:* \\ | Mix of (1) granitoid plutonic rocks and (2) low-medium-grade metasedimentary (schist, marble) and possibly metavolcanic rocks |
| *Composition:* \\ | Mix of translucent - transparent quartz with pink feldspar, white marble and grey-green low-grade metamorphic rocks (schists); possibly also higher-grade metamorphic rocks involved. Few heavy minerals, including garnets |
| *Texture:* | Characteristic eolian texture: Medium grained (mL-MU; mean ca. 350 µ), well sorted, depending on mineralogy poorly to well rounded. Characteristic polished, matted ("frosted") grain surfaces typical of eolian transport |
