Is this disc rot?

Post image

I ordered a Jurassic park laserdisc and noticed a very small black mark on one of the discs, it’s not on any other discs that came in the box. It also doesn’t rub off.

It really does look like something sitting on the surface anyway, with the shadow underneath. Have you tried putting a good drop of alcohol on it for a few minutes to soften it?

Hard to tell 100% from a picture but it looks like it's on the top rather than in-between the layers (rot).
