Plastic in oilpan?? wtf

[RPSil13]

i heard a weird noise coming from the bottom of the engine and i thought it was rodknock but it turns it had a couple pieced of hard black plastic in there that were bouncing around, but where the hell did the plastic come from, any ideas???

That's my guess.

pics would help us identify the mysterious items.

i wish i had pics, but i didnt take any when i redid the oil pan, but i know for sure it wasnt hardened fipg, it was solid hard black plastic, like what the timing cover is made out of
