The sound a cat makes when it moves, a woman's beard, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish and a birds spittle

it definitely looks like carbon of some kind. its not plastic or carbon fibre. those have obvious surface qualities.

search on the website brings up

Carbon-Carbon (C-C) composites offer unique material properties such as high strength, light weight, and resistance to high temperature and corrosion. These properties make C-C composites an ideal material for pistons for both stationary and mobile engines.

that doesnt really tell you what that is.

OK, how long does this stuff take to identify?
