Abstract
A comparison of the rock formation composed of rock salt and potash layers betweenThailand and Lao PDR determines the relationships of each layer found in bothcountries. The result of rock salt and potash formations could be correlated as thesame stratigraphy. They formed in the Cretaceous Period, or about 100 million yearsago. These rocks and minerals are deposited mostly in Thailand, but extend to LaoPDR in two portions. One is from Nong Khai Province in Thailand to VientianeProvince in Lao PDR. Another is from Nakhon Phanom Province in Thailand toThakhek City, Khammouan Province in Lao PDR.
