| Abstract: | Extensive and well‐developed pediments and pediplains in western New South Wales have hitherto received less than due attention in the literature. This paper records the details of instrumental survey and of excavation at The Pinnacles, near Broken Hill. It presents observation and analysis of slope, rock‐type, structure, and surficial cover, and discusses the significance of a peripediment which contains multiple soil profiles. |
