Default Cleaned vtec solenoid and found little black specks in the screen... what could it be from?

So I decided to take out the vtec solenoid so I can try to fix a leak and I found dark black specks in the screen. What could it be?

Scrape them off onto a piece of white paper.

Are they metallic ? , or more like an o-ring material ?.

It could also be carbon or varnish

They don't seem metallic like steel or copper. They are flat black. One of the particles broke up when I squeezed it between my finger nails, but another did not. They seem hard and brittle with no sheen...

probably dried carbon, clean the screen and you should be fine.
