You've got to be kidding; you folks don't even have access to a periodic table, so you're asking little old me. I recall that the raw element of common rock salt or whatever crystal sodium/Na as salt is that of a bit less density than h2o, and otherwise of much less element density than co2. So what the heck does that tell us? (that it should be on the surface, or at most right under a fluffy layer of dry-ice crystals, possibly available as a deep underground brine). Of course there's a great varity of complex Na/ salts to pick from. Why would Mars salt(s) be missing or otherwise hiding itslf? Is mars dirt/rock or whatver's of that iron/reddish soil of less density than salt? - Brad Guth
