The cartridge bearing has disintegrated and that's one half of the bearing which is resting on the crown race. Should come off pretty easy with a Stanley knife (wear safety goggles).
The other half is in the bottom of the head tube. This could be a tough nut to crack.
Fingers crossed both comes out easy!
