Tuscaloosa Group Alabama Gulf Coastal Plain

Mobile Alabama is located along a major embayment within the coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile is underlain by more than 10,000 ft of Tertiary and Mesozoic strata that generally dip and thicken seaward. A number of structural features and faults in the area (particularly the Mobile Graben) offset and alter the stratigraphy of many aquifers in the Mobile area
