Homogenizing temperature test for halite from Yakshinskoe deposit

Temperatures of homogenization of individual fluid inclusions in halite of Yakshinskoe salt deposit during their pre-cooling were determined. It was established that vapor bubbles nucleation in fluid inclusions took a long time. It was connected with high potassium and magnesium concentrations of brines in the Upper Pechora evaporate basin at the halite crystallization stage. Temperatures of homogenization of fluid inclusions ranged from 9 to 43 °C. Similar homogenizing temperatures were observed in other shallow Permian salt basins.
