Like salt? Here is a photomicrograph of fluid inclusions in Permian salt that precipitated in an acid salt lake in Pangea. S I don't yet know the mineralogy of that rectangular crystal in the largest fluid inclusion, but I'll try to figure that out soon with laser Raman spectroscopy.
Hello, Bluesky folks! I'm back. Here's a photomicrograph of fluid inclusions in Permian halite for you. I don't yet know what that rectangular mineral is in the largest inclusion, but I am hoping to zap it soon in WVU's laser Raman spectroscopy lab to find out!
poster to advertise GSA session T137: "Sulfates on Earth, Mars, and Beyond". Logo for session includes Earth, Mars, stars, and crystals. Session is sponsored by GSA Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division, GSA Limnogeology Division, GSA Planetary Geology Division, GSA Sedimentary Geology Division, GSA Mineralogy, Geochemistry,Petrology, and Volcanology Division, GSA Soils and Soil Processes Division, and SEPM. Deadline for abstract submission is June 18.
Do you research sulfate minerals? If so, please consider submitting an abstract to our session at GSA Connects meeting to be held in September in Anaheim.
