1. Brine is used to wash mud off the surface of your specimens.
This means that it is mostly used to wash specimens from the Mud Field
Trip.
2. It is doubtful that you will need brine to wash specimens from
the Blow Hole Field Trip although a few are known to be muddy.
3. You will not normally need to wash brine from your pink halite
specimens, unless you get them muddy while pulling them out of a brine
pool.
4. For complete directions on how to take care of your specimens,
see our Webpage via this link:
Taking Care of Your Specimens.
Full bottles of brine can be purchased at the SLG&MS General Store
in the Show Building
We will also be selling brine "You Fill" during the Mud Field Trip. You
can buy a bottle from the SLG&MS or
Bring Your Own Bottle.
There will be 10 filling spigots so we expect only a short wait to fill
your bottles.
IMPORTANT: Rules for Using Your
Own Bottle
You will not be allowed to fill bottles with
labels -
ALL labels must be
removed or made illegible
The SLG&MS will provide a label that
identifies the contents as
Searles
Dry Lake Brine
Screw top only, NO pop tops, to keep lids from
accidentially popping off
Plastic milk cartons are OK for use during the
show (the SLG&MS will be selling mostly milk cartons)
Plastic milk cartons are
NOT good for long term storage since
they weaken and leak during extended storage
