"A beautiful bouquet animated by May-bugs, etc." "A warrior in armor with a gypseous pipe in his hand leans against a table and blows the smoke far away of himself."

Most of this area is covered by gypsum and gypsiferous soils with minor areas of limestone.

It is a federally listed endangered species limited to barren, heavily gypsiferous soils in the immediate vicinity of St. George, Utah.

Under its northeast edge, Calabozos is cut by a north-south trending segment of sedimentary rock that includes gypsiferous and carbonates.

These bands are converted into gypsiferous layers succeeded by rock salt layers; these layers are seen up to the lake level.

Contemporaneous rocks are also present in the neighbourhood of Boulogne-sur-Mer, where they are characterized by thin limestones with Cyrena and gypsiferous marls.

They are typically found in red gypsiferous and calcareous paleosols formed on loess and flood deposits in an arid cool temperate paleoclimate.

Thus a Briton can drive through the Betic Cordillera in southern Spain and instantly recognise the gypsiferous, red and green marls of the Keuper.

High concentrations of sodium, chloride, and sulfates reflect the leaching and dissolution processes of gypsiferous shales and clay, in addition to a lengthy duration of water residence.

Finally, Ediacaran fossils from classic localities of the Flinders Ranges have been found in growth position within red calcareous and gypsiferous paleosols, interpreted as soils of well drained temperate desert soils.

The Muschelkalk can be up to 100 meters thick; it is divisible into three subdivisions, of which the upper and lower are pale thin-bedded limestones with greenish-grey marls, the middle group being composed of gypsiferous and saliniferous marls with dolostone.
