That evaporite is rock formed by precipitation of minerals from evaporating water, usually from sea water. as sea water evaporates the least soluble mineral contents precipitate first; these include calcium carbonate that is deposited as fine-grained limestone. if evaporation continues, first gypsum, then halite and finally a number of other sulfates and chlorides are deposited [9].?

Caves in related lithologies or :

  • Caves in sandstone
  • Caves in quartzite
  • Caves in quartz
  • Marine erosion caves
  • Volcanic tubes
  • Caves in other planets (Mars, ..)

Pre- and post-field trips and other activities will be held in areas of speleological and archaeological interest in several parts of Galicia, including the surroundings of A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and Baiona.
