RE mineral formation t'pePlacers
-arge amounts of rare earth minerals such as mona7ite andxenotime are contained in placers.
(hese minerals are characteri7ed &' high speci6c gravit'and chemical inertness.
(he' are therefore sta&le during the erosion and
transportation c'cles of 0eathering. (he ma:or locations for placers are rivers, deltas, and
coastlines.
