Not in Kentucky rocks, sorry. Much of that state is Ordovician with some Mississippian. Car-sized turtles are not likely. 

Actually, if he is in Pikeville (as his profile says) he is in the Eastern Kentucky Coalfield area. Which means he is in Pennsylvanian rock.   

 

Still not very likely to find turtles. Although there have been other vertebrate fauna found in the Pennsylvanian here, you are much more likely to find plant fossils, and versions of the marine life common to Kentucky, as the plants were covered numerous times by rising and receding sea levels. Brachiopods, coral, crinoids, gastropods, that sort of thing.

That being said, I still see no evidence of any sort of fossils in the provided pictures.

Not as much as i would like i keep finding these stones with ash in the center and rocks that are melted that one one the right has a worm stuck in it

 

How do you know that it is ash in the center of your find? Just because it looks like ash to you, or pyroclastic flows, volcanic evidence, a squid, a tooth, or skin, doesn't mean that it is... I can see clouds that look like pigs, but that doesn't mean that pigs are flying! They are still just clouds. The human brain wants to make sense of what it sees, so it fills in the blanks, associates what is seen to what is already known. It's called pareidolia, and it's why some people see "the man in the moon", clouds that look like shapes, and faces in burnt toast.

 

We are a science based community here. So claims have to be backed up with facts, known diagnostic features, and the like. Just saying I have something, without evidence, and scientific proof is invalid. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I would suggest you read up on geology. Specifically the geology of your area, the Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian). Studying a bit about Taphonomy would help as well. That is basically the study of how/what/when/why things fossilize. If you know what formation your finds came from I would study that as well to narrow down what can actually be found there.

 

Since you do seem determined and interested...Here are a few quick links that may help. I could also provide a few .pdfs that may be of some use should you desire.

Im just going by what ive found. I say ash because of the texture and the layer of it im digging through. The mountian is cut all the way to a coal seam. And all the melted rock i have found. Ive never seen it around here before. And the sulfer stains on the out side of some of the rock. I will post a bunch of pics tonight im off to dig.
