What is desert pavement made out of?

Wind erosion is the erosional agent that causes deflation, blowouts, desert pavement, and dunes in desert environments. Wind carries and deposits sand particles, creating these distinct landforms through the process of erosion and deposition.
What makes a desert pavement different from a sand dune?
Desert pavement is the result of deflation - fine materials being removed by agents of erosion. Sand dunes are the result of deposition of fine materials by the wind.
