![A) Location of the Murray Basin in southeastern Australia. B) Distribution of the Loxton-Parilla sands in the Murray Basin, orientation of the strandlines and their approximate ages modified after Kotsonis (1995), and the location of some of the many heavy-mineral placer deposits in the basin. C) Study area showing the location of the studied portion of the Bondi Main heavy-mineral deposit and the three drill traverses used in this study (lines A, B, and C).
