Preliminary Mineralogical Characterization of Branching Selenite Gypsum: New Insights for the Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction and Mechanical Characterization

Preliminary Mineralogical Characterization of Branching Selenite Gypsum: New Insights for the Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction and Mechanical Characterization

The present study proposes a characterization of textural and mineralogical features of branching selenite gypsum lithofacies from the Monferrato area (NW Italy). This facies is considered to have appeared during the sequence of the primary lower gypsum of the Messinian Salinity Crisis starting from...
