Evaporites

Evaporites are sediments which include salt minerals like Anhydrite, Gypsum, Halite etc. Evaporites however are not deposited through sedimentary cycle like other sedimentary rocks but through the precipitation sequence from brine. Evaporites are usually found in thick beds and form good cap rock for oil and gas entrapment.
