The Second Symposium on Salt, sponsored by the Northern Ohio Geological Society, was held in Cleveland on May 3-5, 1965. More than 400 professionals attended and 78 papers were presented. The proceedings were edited by Jon L. Rau, Professor of Geology at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio. Our thanks to NOGS for permission to share these important papers online.
