Scull Shoals is an extinct town in Greene County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A post office called Scull Shoals was established in 1825, and remained in operation until 1861.[2] The community most likely was named for the Indian bones found at nearby mounds.[3]

gollark: 3.1 Using 2x2 matricesThe argument of iterateabove is a linear transformation, so we can represent it as matrix and compute the nth power of this matrix with O(log n) multiplications and additions.For example, using the simple matrix implementation in Prelude extensions,fib n = head (apply (Matrix [[0,1], [1,1]] ^ n) [0,1])
