“The Zagros fold and thrust belt hosts the most unique outcrops of the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (540 million yrs) salts which have travelled up to 11 kilometers through their sedimentary overburden and have produced versatile beautiful salt domes and salt glaciers.” #TeamSalty #StaySalty #MinCup26
Salt domes and glaciers of the Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt - IUGS
Ediacaran-Early Cambrian Hormuz salt extruded in the eroded core of a whale-back anticline of the Zagros mountain of southern Iran. The folded strata belong to Cretaceous to Pliocene sequence.

If graphite beats pyromorphite in #MinCup26 's last quarterfinal, the four contestants in the semifinals are Cu₂O, NaCl, SiO₂ and C. Crazy chemical simplicity, this edition. In 2025 we had Fe₂O₃ - Al₂SiO₅ and Na₄AlBeSi₄O₁₂Cl - CuSiO₂(OH)₂.

Cleanup didn’t change much; new tools are working well. Graphite is facing quartz tomorrow.
I love how simple the chemistry of our #MinCup26 Final Four are, especially considering how much exotic chemistry we gave you in the starting matches!

Salt tectonics is the study of rock salt (Halite) in sedimentary basins, how and why salt structures evolve, the forms that result, and the physics of salt mobilization. Salt tectonics is a fascinating branch of geology & it is truly incredible how powerful salt is. Learn more below. Vote #Halite!

I know the #MinCup26 quarterfinal is so, so close.
But it’s also in the dinner-rush for tired children, so auditing and validating final results will be a bit delayed.
Thank you. 💚

Upside:
We have a close #MinCup26 match that’s actually close for-real (at least for now)!!
Downside:
I’m going to need to monitor so, so close. Let me know if you spot events that you think could drive legit bursts of support (steamer, viral post, blah blah)

“Everyone around the world … has a story about salt.” That’s why we’re voting for #halite in this #Mincup26 quarterfinal, and why we love Motoi Yamamoto’s incredible, ephemeral installations.

Addendum:
Checking the fine print, @larrynittler.bsky.social provided salt inclusions in H chondrites. I was thinking of the halite in carbonaceous chondrites like Bennu.
H chondrites just taste like rust from the nickel-iron oxidizing.
