Re: [Geology2] Louisiana geology

Hey Chuck...did you study there or are you from there? There are lots of Indian mounds there too... although that is not strictly speaking, geology...unless you count the artifacts from other places buried there.

Ph.D. in physics from LSU. My wife is the native Cajun, though.

There are Woodland period mounds on the campus of LSU and plenty of potsherds and projectile points in the same waters as the fossils. They seem to have the same density, since you tend to find them sorted together with a certain type of gravel, mostly Troyville-Coles Creek culture. The oldest dated Archaic site in Louisiana is also in Baton Rouge, the Monte Sano mounds. I have visited Poverty Point (Late Archaic) and Watson Brake (Middle Archaic) sites.
