Beds or deposits of rock-salt occur associated with beds of gypsum, marls, and clays, and sometimes, as at Goderich, of porous dolomites. They have in all prob...a- bility originated from the desiccation of salt lakes, or of sea-borders cut off from the main body of water by bar- riers which were occasionally overleaped by the outside waters, thus adding new supplies to be concentrated by evaporation. In the process of concentration such waters would naturally first deposit their least soluble ingredient, gypsum or anhydrite, which is always present in sea-water, and afterward, with increasing concentration, their salt ; while earthy substances, washed from the adjacent lands, 3 o6 APPLIED GEOLOGY.
