The impact craters that formed the Carolina Bays are due to the sloughing of molten metal as the pieces of an asteroid traveled to the impact point 1,500 miles off the eastern Atlantic Coast of North America. It is estimated that the number of pieces of molten material that left impressions on shore were about 500,000. The total number of pieces number in the millions including those not preserved and those on the ocean floor. They were only preserved on the coastal plain due to the thickness of the soft sediments.
