Summary

The thickness contours were created using biostratigraphic data in the Paleo-Data, Inc., Tenroc Regional Geologic Database. The depths of the microfossil locations were associated with the wells data provided by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. Because of the proprietary nature of the Tenroc database, no actual data can be shown and only those data points contained in the Louisiana State wells database are included in the control points layer. Contouring was accomplished in Dynamic Graphics, Inc., EarthVision modeling software (v.5) using minimum tension gridding. Three custom programs were used to convert contour lines generated from grids in EarthVision to Arc/Info coverages and then to shapefiles. The data are provided [...]

Purpose

The isopach data show thickness trends of the Lower Miocene 2 sequence in southern Louisiana. The datasets were developed primarily to facilitate the synthesis and analysis of various data types required in the assessment of energy resources and to aid in the study and visualization of framework elements and processes. In addition the datasets provide access to the information in an easily usable format for those outside of the USGS.
