Evaporite Basins Shallow basins in arid regions and lagoons may become supersaturated and precipitate evaporite minerals. Rock gypsum, Rock salt, crystalline limestone Continental Environments Desert (Eolian) Eolian environments are arid and typically have winds that transport and sort medium- and fine-grained sediment (sand to silt).

Evaporite deposits (gypsum and rock salt, or halite) formed in the Michigan basin when waters flowed into the basin, and then evaporated, depositing the salts. This is referred to as the "Salt Cycle". Source: Detroit Free Press. ROCK SALT. The rock salt of the Michigan basin is one of the major sources of salt in North America.

Evaporite formations chosen for special study in the West Texas Basin are, in ascending order, the Castile, Salado, and Rustler formations, which have a combined thickness of 1200 meters. The Castile formation is largely composed of gypsum rock, the Salado, halite rock, and the Rustler, quartz and carbonate sandstone.

The gypsum-salt rock deposition in the basin center was a common depositional model for gypsum salts. During the aggradation stage, the evaporites were deposited with increase of water salinity; carbonates were formed in highstand areas, and towards depression of the basin center, it gradually transited to large amount of sulfates; …
