The salt crystals (aka halite) that Benison and her team studied were originally found in central Australia. Benison was part of the team that published these findings in the journal Geology.

TINY DROPS of fluid preserved within crystals of rock salt that formed some 830 million years ago have been found to contain microorganisms - and they may still be alive.

The researchers took samples of halite from 4,858 feet (1,481 meters) to 4,987 feet (1,520 m) below the modern-day surface and sliced the halite 0.04 inch (1 millimeter) thin.

The geological time scale is vast and long. Rocks and minerals often take millions of years to form. This week's episode of Mineral Monday, however, looks at a mineral that moves much faster than that ...
