"I suspect the Carolina Bays were formed during the Ice Age at the edge of the ice sheet by permafrost."

Maybe.

"I suspect the Carolina Bays were formed during the Ice Age at the edge of the ice sheet by permafrost."

Palynological evidence rules this out. During the Pleistocene, the Southern Coastal Plain had a Grass-Pine-Oak-Hickory savanna. THERE WAS NO PERMAFROST IN THE CAROLINAS DURING THE PLEISTOCENE, EVEN DURING THE HEIGHT OF WISCONSINIAN GLACIATION.

I WILL SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME. CAROLINA BAYS ARE A HYDROLOGICAL PHENOMENON. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH COMETS, METEORS, PERMAFROST, WHALES, OR ANY OTHER ODDBALL THEORY.!!!
