Default Is this cylinder head ok?

Long story short, my #8 piston came apart and sent shattered pieces through the motor. The head looks fine to me but I need another opinion. I can't catch a nail on any of it. Its still smooth to the touch. Looks just like the pieces left an imprant on the carbon.

I wonder if anything could have got between the valve and valve seat and damaged seat?
