Sunday Sed Structures - Evaporite Casts!

Lookit here! Pictures of sedimentary structures on a sure-fire Sunday, rather than later. What a novel concept.

Anyway, these pictures below show some outcrop exposure of evaporite crystal casts from the Eocene Wilkins Peak in Southwest Wyoming. This first picture below shows a little crystal fan of some sort of evaporite.



These two pictures below show a bedding plane view of evaporite crystal-casts.





That's all...go eat some salt on your hard-boiled Easter Eggs to show some evaporite solidarity!
