| Description |
English: Halite from the Silurian of Michigan, USA.
This halite sample is derived from a halitite deposit, also known as rock salt. Halite is NaCl - sodium chloride. Halitite is the most common type of evaporite, a crystalline-textured, chemical sedimentary rock formed by the evaporation of water (usually seawater), and the precipitation of dissolved minerals. Most halitites are clear to whitish to grayish. This Silurian-aged specimen is from subsurface Detroit, Michigan. Stratigraphy: Salina Group, ~mid-Upper Silurian Locality: Detroit (probably from the Detroit Salt Company Mine, a.k.a. International Salt Company Mine, in Wayne County), southeastern Michigan, USA |
