It is characterized by thick cycles of anhydrite, limestone, and sandstone in outcrop, and by a diapiric halite facies in the subsurface. The proposed deposi-tional model requires accumulation of carbonate sediments during transgression to a marine maximum, followed by precipitation and crystal growth of evaporites under hypersaline subaqueous conditions during regression. This interpretation thus differs from the currently popular “sabkha” model of anhydrite genesis. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
