Also, that description is of the area of Burns Cliff that Oppy was able to reach -- isn't that the area of the sequence *below* the main evaporite beds?

In other words, that description applies to the Meridiani area prior to its periodic inundation by a shallow sea. The desert playa formations predate the deposition of tens of meters of evaporite.

At least, that's how I read it.
