| The Horseshoe Bend Shale is evaporitic and outcrops fringe almost all salt lakes. |
| Lakes can be dominated by carbonate, evaporitic, siliciclastic, volcaniclastic or organic sedimentation, and combinations of more than one sediment type can occur. |
| The lower, evaporitic part of each cycle contains halite, anhydrite, and high salts. |
| The Hith Formation, like in Abu Dhabi to the south, is in an evaporitic facies in the west and is dolomitic in the east. |
| According to literature, numerous laminated gypsum intercalations suggest evaporitic conditions. |
| The only volumetrically important and widespread diagenetic effect of groundwater flow on carbonates in near-surface evaporitic settings is reflux dolomitization. |
