What is the black powder in my walls?

I drilled a hole in my wall the other day and a black powdery substance came out. What is it?What is the black powder in my walls?
That really doesn't sound good! Never heard of black sheet rock! How old is your house? My first thought was mildew and that's NOT good! Not for you and especially if you have kids or pets! Get it checked out SOON !What is the black powder in my walls?
if it's an older home like mine? they used to use newspaper for installation. maybe they crumbled and what you see is the black ink from the newspaper
Black mold possibly, if it's an old house it could be the plaster.
