How many shales are present in Louisiana

Hi All!  First of all let me say that i really enjoy reading about all the great information supplied in the forum & about the Haynesville Shale.  I do understand some of what is going on, but then i don't understand some of the terminology in the forum.  My first question is:  How many Shales are present in Louisiana & what shales are present in other states that extend into Louisiana. I would like to know the areas where they are present if possible---tks--Ginger

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
