See, for example, http://www.er.gov.sk.ca/adx/aspx/adxGetMedia.aspx?DocID=5815,3538,3385,5460,2936,Documents&MediaID=26934&Filename=Saskatchewan+Potash.pdf<br /><br />You're right about the Jurassic inland sea, but it deposited clastics and carbonates, not evaporites; the Jurassic rocks produce oil in the SW part of the province (e.g. around Shaunavon & Eastend).<br /><br />Maybe you were just checking to see if we were awake out here? ;-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />--HowardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
