Salt deposits are the remains of ancient hypersaline waters, which presumably supported dense populations of halophilic archaebacteria (halobacteria). Winsford salt mine in Cheshire exploits salt from the Triassic period (195-225 Ma), and Boulby potash mine in Cleveland, which is Permian (225-270 Ma...
