Halite (salt) | GeoKansas
Halite is easy to identify because it tastes salty and dissolves easily in water. Broken fragments of halite may be nearly cube-shaped. In Kansas, salt is found in thick beds deep underground. Salt in these thick layers is known as rock salt. Extensive salt beds that are, on average, about 250 feet thick and between 500 and 1,000 feet deep are ...

Rock Salt: A sedimentary rock composed of the mineral halite
Rock salt is the name of a sedimentary rock that consists almost entirely of halite, a mineral composed of sodium chloride, NaCl. It forms where large volumes of sea water or salty lake water evaporate from an arid-climate basin -- where there is a replenishing flow of salt water and a restricted input of other water.

Deformation of intrasalt competent layers in different modes of salt
Abstract. Layered evaporite sequences (LESs) comprise interbedded weak layers (halite and, commonly, bittern salts) and strong layers (anhydrite and usually non-evaporite rocks such as carbonates and siliciclastics). This results in a strong rheological stratification, with a range of effective viscosity up to a factor of 105. We focus here on the deformation of …
