saliferous

The town is built on Lower Keuper saliferous beds from which salt has been mined.

Taste: Farinaceous when fresh, saliferous (salty) when dried.

The lake is alkali and saliferous with high levels of oxygen, phosphorus, and phosphate, but low levels of inorganic nitrogen.

The saliferous beds of New York State belong largely to the Salina period of the Upper Silurian.

I was very much struck with Forbes' explanation of n[itrate] of soda beds and the saliferous crust, which I saw and examined at Iquique.

Another discovery made by the exploratory drilling was that saliferous groundwater moves both from the sides and the top of the salt dome towards the surface, meaning that if it came into contact with highly radioactive material, the result would be a contamination of the biosphere.
