Marks on pressure plate

[w33 brl]

Just took the pressure plate and clutch off my 172 to transfer to the turbo engine and noticed wear marks on the pressure plate

As you see from the picture 3 mark at 120 degrees from each other

Just wondering if that's normal and if not what causes it?

Slipping it and heat from driving enthusiastically ! Lol looks like the plate has had some abuse ! If your turbo'd I'd replace the lot regardless !

Looks like any other clutch plate i've taken off my engines, they all get hot spots IMO. Bang it back on
