- Paleontology_in_Louisiana abstract "Paleontology in Louisiana refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Louisiana. Outcrops of fossil-bearing sediments and sedimentary rocks within Louisiana are quite rare. In part, this is because Louisiana’s semi-humid climate results in the rapid weathering and erosion of any exposures and the growth of thick blanket of vegetation that conceal any fossil-bearing strata. In addition, Holocene sediments, including alluvium of the Mississippi, Red, Ouachita, and other rivers and their tributaries, and coastal marsh deposits, cover about 55% of the surface of Louisiana and deeply bury fossiliferous strata in this area. Largely unfossiliferous Pleistocene sediments, which underlie flat, exposure-less, fluvial and coastal terraces, cover another 20% of the surface of Louisiana. Strata of Paleogene and Neogene age directly underlie only about 25% of the ground surface, principally on the Sabine uplift of northwestern Louisiana and in the salt-dome basin of north Louisiana. These strata contain thin sequences of fossiliferous marine sediments that occur within otherwise typically unfossiliferous fluvial and deltaic strata. Within this area of Paleogene and Neogene exposures, the oldest rocks exposed within Louisiana occur as a few small outcrops of generally fossiliferous upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. They are exposed only in small areas lying directly over the Protho and Rayburn salt domes in northwest Louisiana where they have been displaced from deep in the subsurface.".
