Step-by-step explanation:

The two textures of the Evaporitic rocks are as follows -

1. Evaporitic rock textures show the same type of cyclicity which appears to be related to the chemical composition and salinity of the brine from which minerals are precipitating via the water evaporation and concentration of the brine. Permian evaporites of Germany show this type of texture.

2. To recognize evaporitic formation it requires recognition of halite pseudomorph, sequence composed some proportion of evaporite minerals, and also recognition of mud crack textures .
