Fruitbat Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 While Louisiana is not rich in fossil-producing sites, it does have more than coral available. Here is a LINK to the section on Louisiana fossil localities in my pdf library here on TFF. You might find some interesting reading there. -Joe 2 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Louisiana has great petrified palm, the state fossil. http://www.petrifiedwoodmuseum.org/OligoLouIntroduction.html Precious opal and diamond also occur. 3 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AnThOnY- Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The Tunica Hills area will be probably the best bet. Between St Francisville and Natchez a lot of Pleistocene fossils can be found. There are some PDF's floating around online that you can search for on Tunica Hills fossils. I have heard that dredges from the coastal marshes have pulled up ice age material as well but they're not likely to be in great shape if you do get lucky and find some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moozillion Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I found a hybodont shark tooth in the loess formation that AnThOny mentions. Much later a friend found a mastodon tooth somewhere in the middle of the state but he refused to tell me where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of some stray Pleistocene vertebrate material from Baton Rouge, but I think the odds increase further North. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
