RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Geologic History The geologic history of the North Louisiana Salt Basin is directly linked to the evolution of the Gulf of Mexico basin (Wood and Walper, 1974). The Gulf of Mexico is a divergent margin basin dominated by extensional tectonics and wrench faulting (Pilger, 1981; Miller, 1982; Klitgord et al., 1984; Van Siclen, 1984; Pindell, 1985; Salvador, 1987; Winker and Buffler, 1988; Buffler, 1991). The origin of the Gulf of Mexico basin consists of phases of crustal extension and thinning, of rifting and sea-floor spreading, and of thermal subsidence (Nunn, 1984). Sawyer et al. (1991) proposed the following as a model for the evolution of the Gulf of Mexico and related onshore interior salt basins based on the distribution of crust type. A Late Triassic-Early Jurassic early rifting phase is typified by half-grabens bounded by listric normal faults and filled with nonmarine red bed sediments and volcanics. A Middle Jurassic phase of rifting, crustal attenuation and the formation of transitional crust is characterized by a pattern of alternating basement paleotopographic highs and lows and the accumulation of thick salt deposits. A Late Jurassic phase of sea-floor spreading and oceanic crust formation is typified by an extensive marine transgression as a result of crustal cooling and subsidence. Subsidence continued into the Early Cretaceous and a carbonate shelf margin developed along the tectonic hinge zone of differential subsidence between thick transitional crust and thin transitional crust. This depositional pattern was interrupted by a time of igneous activity and global sea-level fall during the Late Cretaceous (mid-Cenomanian) that produced a major drop in sea level and resulted in the exposure of the shallow Cretaceous platform margin that 432
