Evaporites

"This book provides a comprehensive discussion of all aspects of evaporites, from their deposition and diagenesis, through halokinesis, to metamorphic and hydrothermal assimilation. It goes beyond the usual discussion of depositional textures of anhydrite and halite to include details on all economically significant evaporites, including the various potash, borate, and sodium salts."--BOOK JACKET. "In addition, it deals with all aspects of the subsurface evolution of evaporites including brecciation, meta-evaporites and metal-evaporite associations. It also looks at evaporites in a sequence stratigraphic framework."--Jacket. "The book will appeal to advanced earth science students with an interest in evaporites, as well as professional and research sedimentologists, and economic geologists."--Jacket.
