Summations Only

If you're willing I'd really like to get a clearer picture of these evaporite beds. Where are these "dessication cracks" to be found, and the evaporative minerals?

Let's put it this way: If you have silt along the Nile then that's its depositional environment, no problem. The problem is when you have a stack of strata and you claim a different depositional environment for each layer based on its contents, as if the environment had changed from one level to the next. THAT's what makes no sense. I do expect a rational person simply to see why it doesn't make sense, and beyond that I don't know how to prove that it doesn't, so since you won't see why it doesn't there is probably nowhere to go with this from here.
