Is there shocked quartz in the Carolina Bays? Many geologists have been insisting that in order to prove that the Carolina Bays are impact structures, it is necessary to show that they contain shocked quartz or other evidence of shock metamorphism. This presentation examines the mechanism of bay formation to see if it was even possible that such materials formed when the bays were created.
