Raw Salt — Detailed Guide
The raw form of Preserving Salt
Raw Salt is a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and turning it into 
Preserving Salt is what it is for. The game spells it out: "Mix it with sulfur to obtain Preserving Salt." The ARK Wiki notes that it has had no other use since it first appeared, and asks readers not to mix it up with the separate items Salt and Preserving Salt.
Gathering salt
Most of it comes from salt deposits, which appear as salt pillars and as dinosaur bones and spawn naturally in set places around the map. A pickaxe or an axe also gets salt from smaller fossils on the ground, and from the salt pillars on Extinction. The wiki names a 
Gacha as one more option.
Maps and loot
The resource was introduced with Scorched Earth. Besides it, the ARK Wiki lists Fjordur, Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Valguero, Ragnarok, Extinction, Genesis: Part 1 and Genesis: Part 2. Our records count 52 crate types that can contain Raw Salt, for example the Astraeos Desert Blue crate and its bonus version and several Genesis crates on Genesis Part 2.
Weight and recipes
A piece weighs 0.1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. In our ASE records it goes into one recipe, Preserving Salt, at 2 per craft.
