Since you're on the West Coast, it could also be Cal-Shake, which is what it looks like to me.

I've never had to identify it by size, so I don't know. Here's more information about the lawsuit:

A Masonite roofing material?

What the hell were they smoking when they designed those?

Does this look like the same product? Very fibrous stuff. I posted photos when I first found it but didn't hear back about a re-call.
