Paleontology and geology

Very little is known about the Jurassic of Minnesota, as the only sedimentary rocks from this Period are deeply buried and known only from drill cores. They record evidence of an eastward extension of the Jurassic sea into northwestern Minnesota. There are no known fossils.
