In his excellent and complete compendium “Evaporites” [...]

Highlights

  • Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations

  • Mineralogical and geochemical studies of marine evaporites, especially those based on isotopic analyses and studies of fluid inclusions, allow us to learn about the evolution and transformation of the world’s oceans, from the beginning of the Earth’s history to modern times

  • The authors complemented previous petrological studies by integrating them with Raman microspectroscopy and fluid inclusion analyses. Features such as halite recrystallization, low bromine content, and the high-temperature homogenization of fluid inclusions indicate that post-depositional transformations played an important role in the formation of the Lotsberg salt deposits

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. All presented articles share one common feature—the use of petrological and geochemical studies of evaporites to reconstruct ancient sedimentary environments. Mineralogical and geochemical studies of marine evaporites, especially those based on isotopic analyses and studies of fluid inclusions, allow us to learn about the evolution and transformation of the world’s oceans, from the beginning of the Earth’s history to modern times.
