Overlapping Carolina Bays

[@jasonfraser701]

I think you've done a lot to further mankind's knowledge of past events and deserve 100 times the amount of subs and credit you have. May your efforts be recognised

[@joesample3796]

love your videos Antonio!

[@Alarix246]

Antonio, one little note if you care: the calculations presume that the Earth was covered by an undisturbed layer of atmosphere, but the cataclysm certainly made sure this wasn't the case. I'm suggesting that some other minor aberrations to the rule could be caused by the almost certain fact that parts of the atmosphere were temporarily (or forever?) torn off the Earth's mantle and this the projectiles could have been landing to an atmosphere-free vacuum - or growling winds of unimaginable magnitude (winds like you suggested the last time you posted your update). This instalment here you just made makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

I have been suggesting this is a recharge feature on a cyclical pattern. The last plasma blast or recharge roughly 14000 years ago and continued for the 2-4 thousand years that followed. Warming South Pole and high energy plasma to the northern hemisphere. This would recharge every crystalline structure we know including the human brain.

[@Antonio_Zamora]

The ET projectile was about 2 or 3 km in diameter. It could not have created a vacuum on the surface. However, the ejecta curtain could have trapped the polar jet stream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX-lXqCKm7uSkJo

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

@ what if the projectile stemmed from earth originally. After extram plasma hit the northern hemisphere? Would explain multiple years of bombardment

[@richardksimpson800]

Another excellent and perfectly logical presentation. Thank you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Ifelta]

This makes sense. Thank you for putting this together. I am finally able to visualize the impact hypothesis. I would love to hear your opinion of the house sized granite boulders in Rockford Alabama. They make zero sense .

[@yoda204]

If as hypothesized the ice sheet was 2 to 3 Kms thick, surely the ice sheet spreading laterally under it,s own enormous weight could easily have moved a boulder that size

[@Ifelta]

@yoda204 the glaciers did not advance deep into Alabama.

[@rh5563]

@@Ifelta, glacial erratics, possibly. Stone floated in or on massive ice chunks.

[@Ifelta]

@@rh5563 did glaciers advance down to south Alabama?

[@rh5563]

@@Ifelta , no, imagine massive turning waters, with whole forests swept away, entire landscapes being dismantled, enormous chunks of ice are known to carry erratics a long distance from the source material. If you saw a LiDAR image of the US, you might have a revaluation when you look at the Missouri Valley, it’s much much more extensive than previously imagined. It’s insane.

[@justmenotyou3151]

👍👍. More information. Thanks. I'm still thinking about the Kansas basins. Head scratcher.

[@therealpatriarchy]

Looking at the wider view of this map, it seems there should have bee a good deal of slush ejected from the impact origin as well.

[@Antonio_Zamora]

Slush may have been ejected, but it turned into ice once it went above 30 km. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGWlnmZgrOsptU

[@Rahatlakhoom]

The sheer numbers of bays that are observable seem nearly unestimatible. Impact saturation in the Carolina's are almost fantasy level. I wonder just how much ice mass was displaced/ejected, in that one impact, to cover the wide swath of destruction that can be visually confirmed. Not to mention, terrain in the impact radius that are no longer visible due to erosion. I am pondering that a large enough asteroid might punch thru the ice sheet, the kinetic release would detonate the water/ice from below and it would essentially become, not just an impact. but also a bomb via steam explosion. Just my thought experiment for the evening. Great work Antonio, we appreciate you!

[@Antonio_Zamora]

You describe all the correct mechanisms. Six years ago, I made some quantitative calculations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiUimShhNSroM0

[@DavidBritton-nl1wv]

So how do those that oppose the YDIH explain the formation of these bays?

[@Antonio_Zamora]

Most geologists consider the Carolina Bays to have originated from prevailing winds blowing over existing lakes or from sinkholes created by melting permafrost. You can read about these hypotheses in the Wikipedia page about Carolina Bays.

[@DavidBritton-nl1wv]

@@Antonio_Zamora Thanks for the reply, I've watched a couple more of your vids now and found out a bit more.

[@not2b8b4u]

These shoud be renamed as Zamorian Ice ejecta craters!!

[@simplysteve68]

I lost count, of how many smaller impact point remnants, that there are in the pic alone, well over 50 at least! 😱

[@استاذدانيال]

Antoinio, you only briefly mentioned the extinction of animals in this video (4:08), so this question isn't engendered by this video, but by previous videos. All of the mega fauna which lived in the states from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard were eliminated by the bombardment of ice boulders. And the list of animals is long. But conspicuously absent from the list of animals eliminated in the ice bombardment are the North American bison, which, if largely eliminated, ultimately recovered wonderfully. The La Brea tarpits have yielded skeletons of mammoths, saber-tooth cats, dire wolves, and giant sloths. What would account for their extinction from CA which is beyond the 1500 mile radius of the ice boulder bombardment ?

[@Antonio_Zamora]

My reply seems to have gone away, so I am reposting it. The ballistic sedimentation of the ice boulders that made the Carolina Bays was so energetic that it probably killed all animals within a radius of 1500 km from the ET impact site. Animals beyond that range could have survived if they adapted to the global winter triggered by the impact. Herd animals were more likely to survive than predators that had sparse populations. See the Black Mat video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nUdJ2OqMameLs

[@mitchellmavin7410]

Im not sure if you have covered this before but I was curious if age dating the sediments was possible? I understand that viscous relaxation would restore much if the original stratigraphy and earlier origin but could there be a definable layer or structure that could be age dated? I have really enjoyed your video regarding the carolina bays and younger dryas impact hypothesis!

[@Akio-fy7ep]

Yes, samples from _tens of millennia_ of unbroken stratigraphy accumulated on top of the bays' rims have been dated. We are certain the bays did not all form at the same time, or anywhere near so recently as the Younger Dryas period. They may not be karst lakes, but anyway they certainly are not impact craters.

[@Antonio_Zamora]

Geologists assume that the ground of the Atlantic Coastal Plain has stratified uniformly for millennia, but if the bays are the result of impacts as their mathematically elliptical geometry suggests, the stratigraphy was scrambled by the impacts. See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3m3k4mneLV1qKM

[@wageslaveuranus9596]

Is it names the Zamora asteroid?

[@greymatter6834]

👍🏽 Good idea!

[@montrealinspring632]

Have you any AI friends that you could get to process all the areas that could have received these ice bombs ? That would make a great map! Maybe push the old guy’s back down to consider How correct you have been! Might detail the meteors size and locations.

[@Antonio_Zamora]

Michael Davias at cintos.org has cataloged over 70,000 basins. He is the one who provides the LiDAR images.

[@candui-7]

The aeolian/lacustrine/thermokarst arguments don’t hold water (or ice.)

[@bikinglikebecker]

water table has influence

[@fairhall001]

Overlapping bays rule out aeolian formation, the fan method would fail to make these shapes.

[@tradermonk9403]

I believe they were caused by impacting plasma from a past Nova of our star! 💫

[@Antonio_Zamora]

Some people suggest coronal mass ejections, plasma discharges, or electrical storms, but they never provide details of the specific mechanisms that can consistently produce elliptical basins. Hand waving is not enough to build a scientific foundation.

[@tradermonk9403]

@ Sounds like you have an axe to grind…or a book to sell. I’m just expressing an opinion. The sheer volume of them looks like an extinction level event.

[@Antonio_Zamora]

​@@tradermonk9403You are right about the extinction level event. The reason why I may sound like I have an axe to grind is because even professional geologists and scientists tend to disregard the mathematically elliptical geometry of the Carolina Bays. That is almost like an ornithologist disregarding the wings of birds.

[@tradermonk9403]

@ I’m speculating that if a roundish blob of plasma struck the earth at a shallow angle, an elliptical depression may occur .

[@Akio-fy7ep]

Hint: anything ejected by the sun affects _at least_ a whole hemisphere, and concentrated at the poles (if mostly charged particles) or equatorial areas. I.e., not the Carolinas.

[@dhadbaoui]

Has anyone dated sediment accumulation in the Carolina bays to determine how long ago they formed?

[@not2b8b4u]

Yes, but it is a secret@@

[@PBGetson]

Ask what geology professor? I'm just a 61 year old man who is just interested in the topic.

[@Alarix246]

But the young ones who have professors are the ones who can one day prove that Antonio was right!
