- W1991201479 abstract "ABSTRACT The salt seen in Gulf Coast mines is predominantly halite, with a few percent of anhydrite and traces of other evaporite minerals. Complexly folded salt structure is picked out by subtle compositional banding and interpreted as highly stretched bedding. Inclusions of non-evaporite rocks also tend to be distributed along the same banding. The non-evaporite lithologies, interpreted as xenoliths picked up by the salt during its rise to the surface, are composed mostly of sand sandstone and shale, highly brecciated and permeated by salt, and generally colored red, brown, orange or yellow. The color may be from oxidation of iron-rich mine waters. Fossils (Oligocene foraminifera) have been reported from only one location in the Five Islands mines, in a band of dark shale in the Belle Isle mine. Petrographic examination of several sand samples reveals well-sorted, well-rounded, coarse, frosted grains, suggesting a possible eolian origin. This interpretation would be most consistent with an origin within the Jurassic, either just above or even below the Mother Salt. Sub-salt inclusions have previously been documented from Persian Gulf domes. Two different serpentinized peridotite samples have also been recovered from the mine; these are interpreted as possible sub-salt lithologies, perhaps from mantle-derived intrusions along a fundamental fault responsible for the NW-SE Five Islands trend. This fault parallels a pattern recognized many years ago by Fisk and perhaps related to the early Mesozoic opening of the Gulf of Mexico." @default.
