I am a descendant of the Waccamaw Souian. The tribe is called “People of the Fallen Star”. Lake Waccamaw is the largest Caolina Bay. I have 75 acres just 1 mile north of the Lake. I have recently uncovered a large ironite spherule which, unfortunately, broke apart during excavating a ditch line. THE OBJECT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT IN DIAMETER AND CONTAINED GLASSY CRYSTALS. I have found additional ironite objects mostly 1-3” in diameter at the site of the excavation.I have given 1 portion of the large ironite to the NC Museum of Natural History which is probably in a drawer somewhere. If one needs proof of a cataclysmic burn or impact, additional excavation to a depth of 8’ revealed a layer of “blue clay”, Kaolinite, approximately 2’ thick. This clay is infused with a high amount of crystals. Just below that I encountered a thin strip of Black material (that I have not been able to identify) overlying a 1-2’ layer of concreted seashells and fossil matter.

...The tribe is called “People of the Fallen Star”...

thanks for the comment, fascinating. So, just as in Australia, the indigenous people have an oral tradition of the event. Do you know anything more of the legend of the 'People of the Fallen Star' - I would be most interested to hear it.

Excellent. I’m sure the authors of the “Cycles...” book (message 50 in this thread) would love to take a look at it.
