Title: Subsurface Miocene of Southern Louisiana

Author(s): Alva C. Ellisor (2)

Abstract:

The area under discussion is south of a line drawn from the southern part of Beauregard Parish to the southern part of St. Tammany Parish, extending into Mississippi far enough to include the Gulf Refining Company's R. J. Williams well No. 1 in Hancock County. A series of eight strike sections and one dip section is given. They show the variation in depositional conditions of the Miocene sediments, the transition of brackish-water fauna into marine fauna, and the faunal zones present which are of value for correlation. Plates showing the characteristic fauna are included.
