Evaporite deposits may be formed in playa lakes and saline lakes in desert areas. However, these
deposits generally are relatively thin and small in areal extent. In contrast, silled (barred) marine
basins (see Fig. 3 in the Perspectives section of Chapter 6) commonly are the site of deposition
of thick evaporite deposits of salt and gypsum. In some cases, evaporation of large seas that are
closed to other oceans and seas may be responsible for thick marine evaporite deposits.
