The world according to me....

What can you say about a pile of bones? It is challenging when you see a freshly dead turtle washed up on the beach. Finding bones that came from a long decomposed turtle is even more challenging, in terms of coming up with answers as to why, how and when it died. Nevertheless, we are happy to get any information on any stranded turtles, fresh or not. In this case, just having the information contributes to our understanding of the seasonality of turtles in NC waters. That kind of knowledge in itself is useful.
