You've got to be kidding; you folks don't even have access to a periodic table, so instead of being constructively topic informative, you're asking this of little old me? I recall that the raw element of common 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 those dry-ice crystals, possibly available as within a deep underground brine). Of course, there's a great variety of complex Na/salts to pick from. Somewhere I'd learned that terrestrial solids of sodium/Na as common rock salt was worth 2+ g/cm3, therefore it should be situated below whatever's of raw ice but otherwise above the iron rich soil and common rock of Mars, which by rights still places it essentially on deck, especially if being the only remainder of those supposed lakes and small oceans of water that Mars supposedly had before losing its protective magnetosphere, as of long ago. Why would such Mars salt(s) be missing or otherwise hiding itself? Is mars dirt/rock or whatever's of that iron/reddish soil and rock of less density than salt? - Brad Guth
