Australian aeolian clay deposits, previously termed parna, are built of stable clay pellets. The pellets were either piled into discrete accumulations (dune parna) or spread as extensive blankets over the landscape (sheet parna). Clay pellets have been formed by three principal mechanisms during the Quaternary. Formation has been episodic, and can be related to definite palaeoenvironments. Reappraisal' of the term parna has resulted in the proposal that it be abandoned and replaced by the terms loessic clay or sand loess, both of which are defined
