A snake came from the west, traveling high, and fell down into Wolfe Creek Crater. It made its home in the hole in the crater. This hole is not shallow — it goes down deep into the earth, all the way through to Red Rock on Sturt Creek. When rain falls the water rises up in the middle of the crater and you might sink down. Then the whole ground is soft and dangerous. One Kartiya already sank there. In the dry time it is safe to go down, the ground is hard there.
That’s beautiful as midcentury modern art. Very Jackson Pollock, but with a more evident structure.
I am a descendant of the Waccamaw Souian. The tribe is called “People of the Fallen Star”. Lake Waccamaw is the largest Caolina Bay. I have 75 acres just 1 mile north of the Lake. I have recently uncovered a large ironite spherule which, unfortunately, broke apart during excavating a ditch line. THE OBJECT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT IN DIAMETER AND CONTAINED GLASSY CRYSTALS. I have found additional ironite objects mostly 1-3” in diameter at the site of the excavation.I have given 1 portion of the large ironite to the NC Museum of Natural History which is probably in a drawer somewhere. If one needs proof of a cataclysmic burn or impact, additional excavation to a depth of 8’ revealed a layer of “blue clay”, Kaolinite, approximately 2’ thick. This clay is infused with a high amount of crystals. Just below that I encountered a thin strip of Black material (that I have not been able to identify) overlying a 1-2’ layer of concreted seashells and fossil matter.
