Certain basins acquire complex geological profiles due to brittle, saliferous or clay tectonics.

It overlies a bed of saliferous sandstone which has been worked for salt.

Hard anodised aluminium body, with external ESPC finish, protects against corrosive environments including saliferous atmospheres.
|
|
There is little to be said of the animals which belong to the saliferous period.
|
|
The tapenade was a treat too, although a fairly salty accompaniment to the already saliferous cheese.

|
These simulators are based on sequential coupling and include state-of-the-art knowledge for saliferous materials.

Much of the town lies on a bed of saliferous marl, impregnating subterranean springs with salt and other minerals.

In Cheshire and Lancashire the gypseous and saliferous red shales and loams of the Trias are between 1000 and 1500 feet thick.
|
|
These clay plains are irregularly veined in places with crystalline gypsum, and are impregnated with saliferous matter, which effloresces on the surface.

In Cheshire and Lancashire the gypseous and saliferous red shales and loams of the Trias are between 1000 and 1500 feet thick.

|
First used for prospecting only, the drillings will later, around 1960, allow the desalination of saliferous rock by direct injection, a technique still used today.

Formerly known as the Lower Keuper Saliferous Beds and as the Northwich Halite Formation (named from the town of Northwich), this member is Anisian in age.
|
|
The Magdalen Islands are situated in the Magdalen Basin which contains a large number of giant saliferous structures of the type found in the Gulf of Mexico.
|
|
Formerly known as the Upper Keuper Saliferous Beds and as the Wilkesley Halite Formation (named from the Cheshire hamlet of Wilkesley), this member is Ladinian to Carnian in age.

Salt manufactured from the springs at Kibero in western Bunyoro was distributed across Lake Albert by dugout canoes to populations in the Lendu area of the northeast Congo. Kibero salt was obtained from saliferous earths. There was a series of excavations done in the small village of Kibiro by archaeologist Graham Connah. Connah first excavated Kibiro in 1989.

Most of the inflow is believed to come from subsoil water with some contribution from stormwater and snow-melting. Local land usage produces small amounts of nutrients and no conduits guides surface water to the lake. The lake is alkali and saliferous with high levels of oxygen, phosphorus, and phosphate, but low levels of inorganic nitrogen. Notwithstanding various levels of chlorophyll, water transparency exceeds the depth of the lake and pH is reported as constant.

Cadney Moss is in Wales, and has been largely reclaimed for agriculture and forestry. Whixall Moss and part of Bettisfield Moss sits above bedrock composed of fine red silt and sand, forming an impermeable layer once known as Upper Keuper Marls. To the north-west of these, the bedrock is composed of Upper Keuper Saliferous Beds, which contain rock salt. Both rock types were re-classified in 2008, and are now part of the Mercia Mudstone Group.

Another discovery made by the exploratory drilling was that saliferous groundwater moves both from the sides and the top of the salt dome towards the surface, meaning that if it came into contact with highly radioactive material, the result would be a contamination of the biosphere. If groundwater is in contact with the halite, another factor to be reckoned with is subrosion, i.e. cavities developing due to salt leaching. This could cause the roof to collapse, or sinkholes to form on the surface of the earth.
