Heart of the Carolina Bays

Hi George, I never liked WordPress's editor either. But Since Microsoft moved all their Windows Live 'Spaces' blogs to WordPress.com, they've also tweaked their Windows Live Writer blogging tool to be a very user friendly, and WordPress friendly, WYSIWYG invirontment. It doesn't get any easier.

We have no choice but to allow the on the ground evidence to guide us in estimating the actual scale of the barrage of impacts. It seems prudent to start by considering the largest scales first, to establish the proper field of study -- inside the pawprint vs outside.

I started using the guiding idea of pawprints in 2009, my first year of allowing a process of fascination with Google Earth and Maps views.

Research has to consider: the huge energies resulting from chemical combustion; the degree of ionization and resulting electrical and magnetic fluid dynamics on a huge scale; the role of self-focusing currents, jets, smoke rings, great balls of fire, tornadoes, hurricanes, storm systems; pressure and aerodynamic suction (lift); rapid ablation of the surface; rapid formation in midair of many minerals; melting, glazing, cracking, excavation, and scattering of the surface; rapid deposits of flat areas, ridges, mountains; triggering of volcanoes and lava flows; formation and collapse of huge dams with ensuing vast flooding; huge dumps of sediment and large surface blocks onto the continental shelf, along with erosion of huge canyons; the removal or covering of vast areas; the resulting paucity of the fossil record; the distribution of related events globally in Holocene times; natural errors of geological interpretation and dating on a vast scale; reassessment of human evolution in Holocene times; realistic estimates of ongoing hazards. And, as an exercise for the student, there's an even larger pawprint over most of Nevada, NNE from the Sea of Cortez to Montana and Wyoming -- consider the remarkable uniformity of the basin and ridge pattern, a fingerprint if I ever saw one...

Hello George Yes, this structure is very interesting and nearly invisible on Google Earth, the image is provocative. What does this mean? http://maps.google.com.br/maps?hl=pt-br&ie=UTF8&ll=34.844733,-79.313822&spn=0.044801,0.076818&t=h&z=14 regards pierson

I see the same common shape, and orientation, as the neighboring bays. But why are those two so much deeper than the others?

I misspoke a bit. I am still on Wordpress but using BlogPress app on iPad to post sometimes. Actually it seems not to be working now. Sigh....

I'll tell you what, guys. I am going to be down there, 7 miles from the Heart, on Monday. I will go out into that field, give it look, take some pics for the Tusk, and provide some first hand impressions. I'll also go to the similar feature to the North, where one bay impinges on its neighbor and they blend into one seemingly simultaneously produced feature. I will put a Google Map of that site in the comment box. Also, the IPad is clearly a boon for field investigation of bays. It will be pure join to walk and drive in bay fields with location aware live photos from Google in hand. Stay tuned...

Dennis, Mike Davias colored those two bays in with red. The red does not reflect their elevation.

Thanks for explaining that George, Even so, I still can't get enough of good images of the 'bays'. That's still a really cool image.

Hi George - More computer problems? Shields up, as the GDFMN play rough. If you haven't added me to your email assured recipient list, do so. Ed

My home computer is out as well.
