Abstract:

Stretching across the Atlantic Coastal Plain from Florida to New Jersey are around 500,000 elliptical depressions known as Carolina bays. Over half of them are found in eastern Carolina. Roberts discusses George Howard's theory that the bays were created by a comet striking the Great Lakes area about 13,000 years ago.
