Abstract
A deterministic digital model to simulate evaporite sedimentation permits experimentation with depth of water, shape of salt basin, number, position, and strength of the inlets, and rate of evaporation. It provides a reasonable fit to salt thickness and distribution in the Upper Silurian Salina Formation of Michigan.Keywords
