A few things can cause marks like that. The most likely is some damage to the stone used for the blue ink. If it gets scratched or gouged from having something dropped on it the surface will attract ink and print. Scratches are fairly common, gouges that would make a shape like that a bit less common.
Another possibility is a fisheye. Those are caused by some bit of debris getting between the stone and the offset blanket. They're usually roundish marks surrounded by a circle of unprinted area. Usually it's just a bit of dirt or something like that, but sometimes it could be a bug or some other object. The one there makes me think bug, but bigger bits of debris usually don't stay in one place for long, so seeing two identical ones would be odd. Pretty cool either way. Steve B
