     Although paleoeolian depositional features have been recognized widely, little work has been done until recently in recognizing paleoeolian erosional features

     Our study will focus on sampling a sequence of uneroded laterites in an easterly transect leading away from the principal source region which we infer to have contributed foreign zircon to the Jarrahdale bauxite near Perth Australia by paleo-eolian processes.

     a future shift in climate forcing could have a profound impact of the natural and agricultural land-cover presently stabilizing the over 100,000 km2 of "paleo" eolian deposits

     Results of this study improve our ability to reconstruct palaeoaeolian environments and therefore our ability to determine grain provenance

     In TP5 on the southern edge of the playa basin, between two bedrock sandstone hills, a single unit of palaeoaeolian deposits is recorded. (p.158)

     The paleoaeolian deposits in units II, IV and TP5 are coarse to medium grained sand (p.163)
