It is really hard to understand from the photo. The depth of field is confusing and it looks blurry. But if I have to pick, I would say a decomposed insect.

Hi, This is more of a quiz than a query... I found this on an old piece of mat board that's been in storage for at least a couple of decades. It was definitely introduced during the manufacturing process. The question is, is it an insect or a blemish?
