Original: The Ocean Beneath: 400 Million Years of Geology Behind Saskatchewan’s Potash Story
A new explainer from Nutrien recounts the geological history behind Saskatchewan's potash deposits, formed from an ocean that covered the region roughly 400 million years ago. The piece links that ancient marine evaporite legacy to the province's status today as one of the world's leading potash producers, where companies like Nutrien mine the mineral for fertilizer used in global agriculture.
