Calcium carbonate failure rather than cellulose fibres - similar to cement failure. Calcium carbonate is added to paper for its color.

That doesn't look like charred paper... it looks like powdered metal covering it from being on the press. This ain't unlikely, as it is in a workshop.

My first inquiry would be: What is the matte-gray material that was forced into the paper?
