Subsurface studies in southwestern Indiana have revealed rather extensive gypsum deposits in the lower part of the St. Louis limestone. Stratigraphic analysis of this evaporite unit indicates that gypsum (CaSO4. 2H2O) and anhydrite (CaSO4) accumulated in small basins within larger basins (intrasilled basins).

Read More2014-1-29 Gypsum (CaSO 4.2H 2O) and anhydrite (CaSO 4) are two related minerals that formed in Indiana during periodic episodes of ancient sea water evaporation in restricted basins. Large deposits of both minerals are located in northwestern and southwestern Indiana. These deposits are commonly associated with dolostone and limestone.

Read MoreAlthough primary gypsum could not be recognized as such, much of the calcium sulfate was probably originally precipitated as gypsum. For gypsification to take place, space must be available for water in addition to space occupied by anhydride; this total volume (anhydride plus water) is greater than the amount of space occupied by the resultant gypsum.

Read MoreNative sulfur is commonly found within anhydrite-gypsum deposits. Outside of the common atmospheric gases, such naturally-occurring pure elements are rare. Anhydrite and gypsum are forms of calcium sulfate (i.e., CaSO4; when anhydrite comes in contact with water, it becomes gypsum), which is, itself, a sulfur-containing mineral.

Gypsum consists of calcium, sulfur and water while anhydrite consists of calcium, sulfur and oxygen.

Read MoreThe evaporites, gypsum and anhydrite, present a problem. Some deposits are predominantly gypsum, in some anhydrite is the chief constituent, but others are both gypsum and anhydrite. This paper considers some of the controlling physical and chemical conditions in a lagoon and how they point towards a solution of the problems.

Read More2009-11-20 Anhydrite is a hard crystal with a hardness rating of 3.5 and approximate density of 3.0. It is a rare mineral since much of its existing specimen alter to the much more gypsum when altered. Anhydrite usually occurs in arid places forming from the dehydration of gypsum. When exposed to water, anhydrite slowly turns into gypsum.

He considers gypsum to be unstable under conditions of permanent load, whereas anhydrite is stable. Evidence for this is the fact that gypsum grades into anhydrite down dip.
Read MoreWhat is Anhydrite? Anhydrite is an evaporite mineral that occurs in extensive layered deposits in sedimentary basins where large volumes of sea water have been evaporated. It is typically interbedded with rocks that include halite, gypsum, and limestone.These accumulations can be hundreds of feet thick. On a smaller scale, anhydrite can form in shoreline or tidal flat sediments from the ...

Read MoreDeposits. Accumulations of gypsum are linked with sea-shoal deposits, which are widely represented at all the continent of the world (See gypsum 2 – rock). Besides, it is formed in the weathering zones, in the process of metasomatism and at some hydrothermal deposits. Large crystals of gypsum were found at many deposits through all the world.

Read More2021-5-6 Anhydrite is most frequently found in evaporite deposits with gypsum; it was, for instance, first discovered, in 1794, in a salt mine near Hall in Tirol. In this occurrence, depth is critical since nearer the surface anhydrite has been altered to gypsum by absorption of circulating ground water.
Read More2015-6-9 Overtime, the gypsum was buried by younger rocks and sediments, and was subjected to hotter temperatures. The heat caused the water in gypsum to be driven out of the crystal structure, and the mineral turned into anhydrite, CaSO 4. When the anhydrite beds were exhumed and brought near the surface, where they were subjected to groundwater flow.
