A whitish monoclinic mineral: MgSO4.KCl.3H20. It is a natural salt occurring in irregular granular masses, and is used as source of potassium and magnesium compounds.
A white monoclinic mineral: MgSO4.H20. It occurs in saline residues.
Tectonic fold style recognized in the overburden of the Permian Zechstein salt characterized by broad antiforms and broad synforms.
Stille (1917), identified three major geometries of folds decoupling over Permian Zechstein salt: (i) Ejective, characterized by narrow antiforms and broad, flat-bottomed synforms, (ii) Kongruente, characterized by an intermediate geometry between the two end-members, and (iii) Dejective, characterized by narrow synforms and broad, flat-topped antiforms.
