Kinda looks like steel wool. IDK metal shavings from something rubbing really bad or machining shavings that were never clean up?

Looks like it might have come from your oil filter. Maybe the filter give up. The orange piece maybe part of the rubber seal inside of the filter. Just a wild guess.

Is it metal? Looks like oily metal to me but its hard to tell. Filter media is also a good suggestion.
