This link is expressed by (i) the good chronological overlap between the stratigraphic units in our study area and previously published lake stands as expressed by beach ridges. Even though not all lake stands are also reflected in our sedimentary records, (ii) there is some topographic correspondence between mapped surfaces to the west of the modern shoreline and published elevations of beach ridges, tentatively suggesting the aggradation of lake marginal floodplains or deltas in response to increased lake levels and intensified sediment supply from the Flinders Ranges.
