Abstract
Evaporites comprise all deposits formed by the evaporation of water and the precipitation of its constituents, such as calcium sulphate, sodium chloride, and potassium compounds. They may be found as rock-gypsum, anhydrite, rock-salt or potash-salt deposits at depth in pre-Recent geological series, or as Recent formations of gypsum and salt on the surface. The main object of this report is to show the conditions under which evaporite sediments are formed, what salt deposits are to date known in Australia, where rock-gypsum, rock-salt and potash-salt deposits may be expected within pre-Recent formations, and how further investigations should be carried out.
