Results of a chemical analysis for possible bromine present in halite samples taken from the drill core and cuttings of Wilkinson 1.
XRF analyses of 25 selected samples of halite interbedded with Early Cambrian strata, which had been taken from stored Wilkinson 1 drill core and cuttings, returned a maximum value for contained bromine of 470 ppm Br. This result was not of enough...-
