It looks like a piece of a LSD friction plate, maybe one of the little ears broke off
should we be worried of a diff failure? i found 2 the same size in mine this seems to be exactly what it is

I would flush out the rear very well to be sure everything is out that maybe loose. I would think you are ok for now if nothing seems to be out of sorts.

The ears keep the friction discs locked in place and, from moving around in the LSD. If the discs can start to free spin they can cause a heat issue in the rear.
I am able to replace the damaged discs if you feel that it becomes an issue.

I found another one last night, changing the fluid again.

I have the Honda Care, so I am going to take the fragment and this thread in to the dealership to see what I can have done.

Many thanks to S2KPUDDYDAD for providing those images.

I had the same thing come out of my Evo IX rear diff. Drove it for another 15k and did prolly another 50 launches w/o any failure.
