August 31 1886 Charleston South Carolina earthquake magnitude of 6.9 or 7.3
It is one of the most powerful and damaging earthquakes to hit the East Coast of the United States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1886_Charleston_earthquake
At one time I think the lower part of east TN had a lot those mud volcanoes
The Nodoroc and Wakulla Mud Volcanoes
Barrow County, GA is the location of the infamous Nodoroc
The Nodoroc is an extremely dangerous place to visit and still claims deer, coyotes, wild dogs or feral hogs from time to time.
The former Wakulla Volcano is located in Wakulla County, FL on the Gulf Coast.
Its eruption ceases after the Charleston, SC earthquake of 1886. Unlike the Nodoroc, however, there is very little evidence of the Wakulla volcano today. https://peopleofonefire.com/nodoroc_and_wakulla_mud_volcanoes.html
This is that mud volcano in Georgia
THE NODOROC: GATEWAY TO HELL AND LAIR OF THE WOG
The Nodoroc Mud Volcano site is potentially of international importance because it contained a stone, triangular temple unlike any known architecture in the Western Hemisphere https://peopleofonefire.com/nodoroc.html
The Mysterious Nodoroc Site in Winder, Georgia
The first European explorers to visit Nodoroc say that it burned and dissolved everything they threw in it.
There must have been a lot of sulfurous acid in that mud hole

I think this theory hasn’t much traction because the microscopic view of the rocks would tell the tale.
