found parts on rear axle plug

checking the oil today and stuck to the magnetic fill plug, was two pieces of metal about 1/4 in. wide, 1/2 in. long and very thin. any one know what this might be or how much longer is going to make it. im leaving in a bit on a 200 mi trip to go tow a car back.
its a dana 80 in my 98

Its probably one of the clutch disc. There is tabs to hold them on the carrier. When they start to go they end up taking out the spider gears in time...
