De-hydrated) below 2000 ft.(Floats in Bromoform). This due to heat and pressure.
(See Mud guide- Mg-Mud.)
So, when seawater is present, Gypsum(Gips) will be the first layer, followed by
Limestone (Kalk) en than Salt. The pressure will push out the water of the Gyps
um, which will then turn into Anhydrite. The free water will make the salt move
up/sideways. Saltdomes.
On top of the rocksalt, the hotter salts can be found. (Poly halites, Magnesium,
Potassium)
Dolomite: Dolomite is Magnesium Carbonate. It might have been formed as a primar
y evaporite or as a carbonate in magnesium rich waters.
Dolomite tends to be hard. General light to dark Grey-Grey brown have been seen
and white.
They dissolve slowly in cold 10% HCL and reasonable quickly in hot diluted HCL.
Anhydrite: Gypsum, without water.
Medium hard, Milky or cloudy and will crush to white powder.( Sinks in Bromoform
).
No change when placed over a naked flame. Will dissolve in Bromium Chloride and
leave a white residue.
Rock salt: Halite, dissolves in water. Glassy or sugary appearance.
Potassium Salts: Dissolves in water and has a bitter taste.
Coal: Coal is the general name given to carbonaceous material derived from veget
ation.
Diamond bits may cause coal to burn. Coal is hard, brittle; very dark grey or bl
ack.
Low specific gravity. In water with a few drops of detergent (to lower the surfa
ce tension) and coal will float. Coal will burn. Drilling of coal seams is very
tricky. Use the lowest possible flowrate to drill and especially to trip out of
the hole. Just lubricate when pumping out.
Limonite: Limonite is a yellow-brown, non-magnetic iron ore often occuring as a
coating on quartz grains.
Siderite: Siderite is a brown iron carbonate mineral occuring in claystones.
Chert: Chert (or flint) is a hard cryptocrystalline form of silica, often presen
t as nodules(lumps) in chalk. Colour blue-grey,grey, to nearly black.
Pyrite:(Fool's Gold) is a hard brass-yellow iron sulphide. Common in Shales, e.g
Kupferschiefer,
Carbonates and coals.
