More turtles don't let it scare you

I do not think tortoise feet would fossilize like that, nor does this resemble the foot of a tortoise.

 

You've posted a number of rocks claiming that they are tortoise/turtle parts, but never indicated what makes you believe that that is what they are, could you at least explain it to us further?

 

To me all of these appear to be waterworn rocks/pebbles, nothing here resembles any fossils

Like I did on the shell do you know what a fossilized turtle foot looks like?  Only the bones remains and the soft tissue decomposes.  Here are the feet of two different types of turtle.

Many people have given their time on your other threads, and instead of attempting to learn, you post a new topic with a snarky title? Mkay. Good luck.

I personally am not afraid of plain old rocks, like these.  :shrug:

Hard to tell at this point if the OP is truly "seeing" his concept of fossils in the rocks he's posting or if he is having us on. So far none of the rocks that have been posted have shown any signs of being actual fossils. A vague appearance of a shape resembling something familiar is not nearly sufficient to make something a fossil. No images or information have been provided to support this claim that these plain old rocks are something worthy of further discussion here on a forum that is dedicated to fossils. Further input will likely be in a humorous vein and so I think this discussion too is now concluded and the topic will be locked from additional comment.

 

Cheers.
