Yes, I would expect to see such 'marks' and I assume you're using this because I've mentioned it before, but another form of 'tool mark' I would expect to see is just a flat out impossibility of something 'naturally' reaching a particular state.

It's a condition that science IS looking for (Cosmology) and isn't finding.

Not the same as 'we don't know how this happened', but actually finding something that CAN NOT have happened any other way.
