Gypsum crystal morphologies in lake sediments for paleoclimate reconstructions: a case study in Fuente de Piedra playa-lake (Málaga)

Gypsum (CaSO4∙2H2O) is one of the most common evaporitic minerals on Earth. Its crystals exhibit diverse morphologies that can provide insights into their depositional environment. We analyzed the morphologies of gypsum deposits in a 14 m sedimentary sequence of Fuente de Piedra playa-lake (Málaga,...
