I'll post full obv and rev shots later if needed.

First, this is what I initially observed after digging out the black sludge using a porcupine quill with medium force.

Then with greater pressure I removed with spit what I thought was only the remaining dark residue; spit actually seems to work better than plain H2O.

The resulting photos show a much less pronounced interior device(s). Could I have possibly knocked off with the quill some of the more losely formed higher parts of the interior items?

Obvious PMD is present on the 'O' itself. But it is unclear if the two interior objects contributed partially or fully to the making of this PMD.

What if the two objects are not incuse? How could they have been part of the 'O's PMD?

Don't see any RPM from first and last photos.
