Abstract
Describes an important domestic source of altered ilmenite, zircon, and other minerals since 1949. Trail Ridge apparently represents a coast-parallel transgressive dune complex, analogous to younger dunes elsewhere that have become completely decoupled from parental shorelines. The Trail Ridge body was probably composite, made up of individual parabolic dunes, each migrating southwestward. -from Authors
