The 3D line shown
above is from the Wayne County
area of southeast Mississippi, an area where numerous deep salt ridges
and turtleback anticlines dominate the Jurassic structural setting.
Hydrocarbons have been discovered and produced from both crestal and
flank traps developed along the ridges and "turtles". Data

Pre-loess porphyritic
rhyolite cobble clast exhibiting typical
flow-banding structures. The phenochrysts visible in this
specimen have been badly weathered resulting in pitting on the
outer surfaces . The presence of unusual clasts like this can
help differentiate the Pre-loess Terrace Deposits of the
ancestral Mississippi River from the Citronelle Formation
in Southwest Mississippi. This specimen is from Clear Creek, a
tributary of the Big Black River in Warren County, near the town
of Bovina. |
