Found this around the top of bed D at barton on sea. I am in contact with a couple experts, however told like to see if anyone has any more information to offer to shed a bit more light. Crocodiles from this specific area are extremely rare but not unheard of, and so far the general consensus is that it could be crocodile predatory marks. The top and middle indent are both around 5-6mm in diameter, and the larger one is around 16-17mm.

I'm preparing a presentation on turtles to be used with elementary age kids. I need information on fossils, common ancestors, earliest turtle fossils. I'm also interested in fossil sites I can visit in the Southern Appalachians. I live in Hendersonville, NC. The Only one I know of is the Gray Fossil Site near Johnson City, Tenn. I'd especially like to know where I can find fossils to collect.
