That isn't original. Looks like someone put it on for some reason, maybe arcing.
Go to the dollar store and pick up some cheap dust masks, carefully sweep up the crumbs and the sheet and put in a plastic bag. It's not good to breath it, but the poor souls that died of Asbestosis were exposed to it, forty hours a week, for twenty or thirty years.
