It's dark brown (so I can't see really well to the bottom) plastic. I put hot water in and agitate it. Yes, they're very thin dark slivers - presumably from the bottom. I don't know if they were safe lying there, but I've broken and stirred them up - or if tiny particles of *that* were my trouble before. If I had a way to get a new one right now I would just toss that bottle and start over. For now I'm holding off on processing film. I don't want more gunk on my film.I always assumed it was some form of silver coming out of the fixer. I never pour all of the fixer out of the plastic bottle as if there are any loose bits they hover near the bottom. Before mixing a new batch I do the partially filled with water shaka shaka shaka mentioned previously to dislodge it.I just wanted to know if that was unusual to find, if you all encountered that, or how you avoided it.
