Zeev,
As sea level rose (that is a marine transgression), the tops of the kimberlite craters were beveled and reworked. This reworking by shore line streams and by waves and tides at the beach zone, concentrated heavy minerals in streams and strand lines....this is an alluvial process that forms placer deposits....as sea level continued to rise, eventually sediments were deposited on top of the eroded craters.....I hope this helps your "visualization" of what happened over time....
regards,
teevee
