Maybe, but I am not buying into asteroid impact for these features. They look just like the ones in Alaska and elsewhere where there is permafrost. I suspect the Carolina Bays were formed during the Ice Age at the edge of the ice sheet by permafrost.

Maybe.

I'm thinking, did it get cold enough there. People were living there, Topper Site. The Gulf Stream would have had to stop flowing for it to get that cold, no? Last I read about the Topper Site, they were talking in the 14k-16k year range.

That's awfully far south. I'm not sure how far the Glaciers advanced down the coast, but they only made it a bit north of Dayton in Ohio.

Freeper Renfield (who has studied the bays) agrees with you.
