Endoliths exposed after calcite crystals are chipped away from mudstone at the mouth of Candor. |

Close-up of the massive nodular gypsum vein. |

Soft friable gypsum chunks are found further down Candor - looks like it could contain halite - but does not taste salty back in the lab. |

Gypsum crystal layer, overlaying nodular gypsum with - tastes salty - halite! |

Cyanobacteria growing in recent calcite evaporate deposits near mud puddle - we are doing rock-paper-scissors for who will taste it. |
