the Arabian peninsula. Surrounded by quartz-dominated, carbonate-rich dunes, this very lightly cemented sandstone is of grey colour, contains quartz and other grains of mostly magmatic origin. It is part of an ancient dune system, the relics of which can be found all over the emirate of Abu Dhabi.</p></div> </div> <div id="comments"> <form method="get" action="/login/"><input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="ilihZqnWVPyexxMBvsMHKJ4voqTdIScAnl3X8Sv9aDd2AxjwuMKILgtgkEmiMeHH"> <fieldset> <input type="hidden" name="next" value="/view/11859/"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default pull-right" data-username="">Login to Comment</button> </fieldset> </form> </div> </div> <div id="right"> <h4>Categories</h4> <ul> <li><a href="/category/field/">Field (2879)</a></li> <li><a href="/category/geomorphology/">Geomorphology (1399)</a></li> <li><a href="/category/stratigraphy-sedimentology-and-palaeontology/">Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology (525)</a></li> </ul> <h4>Location</h4> <div itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"> <meta itemprop="name" content="Asia, Western Asia, United Arab Emirates"> <ul> <li><a href="/region/asia/">Asia (1117)</a></li> <li><a href="/region/western-asia/">Western Asia (316)</a></li> <li><a href="/region/united-arab-emirates/">United Arab Emirates (6)</a></li> <li itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/GeoCoordinates"><a title="See exact location on the map" href="/map/?lat=23.845228&lon=54.403889">Exact location</a> (54.4039 E, 23.8452 N) <meta itemprop="latitude" content="23.845228"> <meta itemprop="longitude" content="54.403889"> <meta itemprop="hasMap" content="/map/?lat=23.845228&lon=54.403889"> </li> </ul> </div> <h4>Tags</h4> <ul> <li><a href="/tag/cement/">cement (3)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/dune/">dune (27)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/desert/">desert (50)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/sandstone/">sandstone (32)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/quartz/">quartz (13)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/dunefield/">dunefield (10)</a></li> <li><a href="/tag/calcium-carbonate/">calcium carbonate (19)</a></li> </ul> <h4>Colours</h4> <div id="colors" class="indent"> <a href="/color/CC9999/" title="#CC9999 - 36%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#CC9999" /></svg></a><a href="/color/CCCC99/" title="#CCCC99 - 14%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#CCCC99" /></svg></a><a href="/color/999999/" title="#999999 - 11%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="42" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#999999" /></svg></a><a href="/color/999966/" title="#999966 - 10%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#999966" /></svg></a><a href="/color/CC9966/" title="#CC9966 - 10%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#CC9966" /></svg></a><a href="/color/333333/" title="#333333 - 4%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="28" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#333333" /></svg></a><a href="/color/666633/" title="#666633 - 4%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="28" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#666633" /></svg></a> </div> <hr> <h4>Image properties</h4> <p class="indent"> <a href="/width/5184/" itemprop="width">5184</a> × <a href="/height/3456/" itemprop="height">3456</a> px;
