Abstract
⺠We investigated mound evaporite deposits in arid environments colonized by endolithic microorganisms. ⺠The use of a single technique cannot avoid some degree of uncertainty in the mineral identification. ⺠We used multiple mineralogical techniques to characterize a lithology suitable for microbial colonization in arid setting.
