<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It looks consistent with insect damage I’ve seen on paper artifacts in the past. When the insects eat all the way through the thickness of the paper you will see the sharp edges like
you describe, but sometimes they will only graze areas of the very top surface of the paper, leaving those more irregular, softer looking marks. We’ve seen similar damage on textiles and other materials as well. This sort of damage is not consistent with damage
to paper I have seen from other factors such as temperature / light / relative humidity problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
