Book Description

Excerpt from Geology and Agriculture: A Preliminary Report Upon the Hills of Louisiana, North of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad The eastern portion of the hills of north Louisiana are underlaid by this formation, which rests conformably upon the Claiborne sands and clays. In lith ological material and physical structure this group is strangely similar to the lower lignitic, from which it is separ eated by the marine Claiborne. Beds of lignite occur also in this formation, l'ut they are rarer and not so thick as in the lower lignitic.
