廷巴利尔湾和邻近大陆架的基本轮廓是在大约 3600 年前的最后一个冰河时代结束时绘制的。此后，该地区经历了河流沉积、海平面波动和土地变化三大过程的塑造和变化。密西西比河的沉积物导致三角洲平原向海推进，而海平面上升和地面沉降则导致直到最近还是旱地的地区普遍被淹没。
The basic outlines of Timbalier Bay and the adjacent continental shelf were sketched at the close of the last Ice Age, approximately 3600 years ago. Since then, the area has been shaped and changed by three major processes: river deposition, sea level fluctuation, and land variation. Sedimentation from the Mississippi River has caused the deltaic plain to prograde seaward, while a rise in sea level and land subsidence have caused a general inundation of areas that were, until very recently, dry land.
