David, thanks for the pic. I've looked for one to verify material for one of those "arguable deals" in the past.
It's not common around here but I've found this in at least 4 homes that I can recall.
It was fairly compacted and combustible, when "tested outside of the attic."
Don't assume that the chopped material is cellulose.
Most old and new cellulose that I run across is greyish not brown, but there may be some brown around.
I advised removal and replacement with new material.
