@nosfe this is amazing, I honestly have no idea
it made me think of an enzyme some bacteria have that naturally looks like sierpinski style triangles, but the scale is completely different https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/Enzyme-forms-complexes-fractal-geometries/102/web/2024/04
the shape also kinda reminds me of Feigenbaum Trees and Menger sponges although I do still think Sierpinski triangles are the best way to describe it
I also see more lichtenberg-style shapes on another color layer, which makes me wonder if maybe it's caused by (static) electricity?🤔

@nosfe do you have any sort of microscope capable of 100-400x ish zoom? you should be able to see organic cells at that level, if it's caused by something organic (fungi, bacteria, etc). Or if you could swab the area with some sterile water and put it in some agar, if there's any growth within 24-48 hours then that would also suggest a biological origin. though personally the black structure in the background really reminds of electric lichtenberg fanning, so that wouldn't surprise me either 👨🔬
