They may be found as rock-gypsum, anhydrite, rock-salt or potash-salt deposits at depth in pre-Recent geological series, or as Recent formations of gypsum and salt on the surface. The main object of this report is to show the conditions under which evaporite sediments are formed, what salt deposits are to date known in Australia, where rock-gypsum, rock-salt and potash-salt deposits may be expected within pre-Recent formations, and how further investigations should be carried out. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[110.0, -44.0], [156.0, -44.0], [156.0, -9.0], [110.0, -9.0], [110.0, -44.0]]]} 110.0 156.0 -44.0 -9.0 AU GA Publication Geology Published_External Record geology mineral deposits mineralogy Download the Record (pdf) documentDigital Download the Record (pdf) PDF Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
