Characteristics of evaporite lithology and halite fluid inclusions from borehole DZK01 in the Kuqa Basin. (a) Gypsum rock with maroon boulder clay; (b) pure rock salt and rock salt with maroon boulder clay; (c, d) primary band-like fluid inclusions developed along growth faces of halite crystals and pits left on the surface of halite after laser ablation.
