This chapter focuses almost exclusively on marine evaporites and in particular on how the
chemistry of seawater is reflected in the mineralogy and facies distribution of deposits in …

Secular variations in the major ion chemistry and isotopic composition of seawater on
multimillion-year time scales are well documented, but the causes of these changes are …

In this study hydrochemical, isotopic and multivariate statistical tools are combined with a
recharge analysis and existing geophysical data to improve understanding of major factors …

Middle Miocene Badenian evaporites of the Carpathian region are underlain and overlain
by deep-water deposits, the onset of evaporite deposition was sudden but not synchronous …

The history of Middle to Late Miocene evolution of the Transylvanian Basin was determined
by the bordering Carpathian orogen evolution, the tectonic events being well recorded by …

Fluid inclusions from ten Cenozoic (Eocene-Miocene) marine halites are used to quantify
the major-ion composition (Mg^ 2+^, Ca^ 2+^, K^+^, Na^+^, SO~ 4~^ 2−^, and Cl^−^) of …

Evaporites commonly occur in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Tethyan domain, which characterized
by extensive Late Cretaceous potash deposits in the Lanping-Simao Basin (LSB) in …

With the advancement of emerging potassium isotope testing techniques, the characteristics
of δ 41 K in evaporite have garnered increasing attention. Its application in constraining the …

Abstract The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) led to deposition of one of the youngest saline
giant on Earth. The increasing restriction of the connections between the Mediterranean, the …

Gypsum makes up about one fifth of giant salt deposits formed by evaporation of seawater
throughout Earth's history. Although thermodynamic calculations and precipitation …
