| Summary | The MacLeod evaporite basin on the semi-arid northwest coast of Australia contains a 12 metre thick formation of Holocene marine evaporates. A large-scale evaporite system, sustained by seawater inflow, continues to operate in the basin today. Thus, MacLeod is one of the few Quaternary basins that resembles the evaporite basins of earlier epochs, and it therefore offers unique research opportunities in evaporite sedimentation, systems, and evaporite-basin evolution. This publication covers topics such as evaporite environments, geological framework of evaporite basins, and geologic evolution of evaporite basins. |
