25 dune field sites were assessed for compositional heterogeneity using THEMIS.

Four sites exhibit spatial heterogeneity in composition across the dune field.

Particle size and olivine abundance positively correlated in two sites.

Aeolian sorting likely not major factor in large scale surface composition variations.
