Louann Salt
The
Louann Salt
is a widespread
evaporite
formation that formed in the
Gulf of Mexico
during the
Callovian

Jurassic
. The Louann formed in a
rift
as the
South American
and
North American Plates
separated, from an embayment of the
Pacific Ocean
. The Louann underlies much of the northern Gulf coast from
Texas
to the
Florida
panhandle and extends beneath large areas of the Gulf coastal plain of
Mississippi
, Louisiana and Texas.
