In Evangeline county, Louisiana
in the Lafayette grarbs occur commonly
chest pettles that look to Wilson (former of
of Missouri survey) like those of the
Mississippia of Iowa. These fossils mostly
cribrid others. He will send some tr
are as they are exceedingly common and
coned out. Have come far. See Harris'
La. report about these pettles. If these
fossils are Miss, how did they come to
this place? Lie on a salt dome seem-
ingly. If they are Penn, maybe they could
have come thru S.E. Oklahoma.
From the fossils and lithology I see no
transitions from the Comanchian into the
Cretacens. The latter starts in with the
Droodtime sands ad limite, and they overlie
the chalky Comanchian limestones.
If both are crustal overlaps
what is the nature of the rock casting dup
legiy Comanchia or Cretacens. These hmm.
