Full Title: Deformation, Metamorphism, and Mineralization in Gypsum-Anhydrite Cap Rock Sulphur Salt Dome, Louisiana
Author: Marcus I. Goldman
This report is based on the study of a diamond-drill core through the entire gypsumanhydrite cap rock. The anhydrite cap rock forms on top of a salt stock by cementation of anhydrite freed from the salt as a result of solution of the salt by ground water. Intermittent accumulation or compaction results in distinct layers called katatectic layers or beds, separated by katatectic surfaces. The anhydrite cap rock as thus formed is designated primary anhydrite cap rock. All changes in it or additions to it are epigenetic…
