Default Found this in my oil pan

I have one of the Kirkham oil pans where the trap doors around the pickup work so well you have to drop the bottom of the pan to get all the oil out. Anyway, when I did that today, I found these little pieces in the pan. They are not magnetic and are pliable, not brittle. I'm not sure how long they've been in there as it's possible I missed them when I changed the oil last year.

There were no metal bits stuck to the magnetic drain plug. Any idea what they are and how worried I should be?
