      Thank you very much for the info.

      My spot seems to roughly follow the radial nail lines on the "top" and "bottom". It is just under 1/8" from edge to edge (measured along the direction the nail grows).

      One "side" is clearly defined as a line. The other side is less defined and gradiually less dark, so it is harder to give one dimension for this axis, but it is slightly wider than the first one.

      So, it is more like a square than a "bar", but if it grew in one direction it would become a bar.
