Chain jumped and ground off part of the BB. Looks cosmetic to me but am no expert. Finished a further 80km after this happened too!

Nah bro, get out and shred
Just a paint scratch, got the same on mines as well, looks like chain jumped off and you kept cycling, shouldn’t be too bad tbh, get some paint and paint over it, should be okay, adjust your front derailleur.
It’s a fair old chunk. Can see the carbon splinters where it’s dug in and caused some damage. Frames are usually super thick around that area though so I guess it’ll be okay. Emphasis on the “guess” part
Throw some flexseal on it and roll on.
Yes damaged.
Damaged certainly but not critically.
I’d seal those fibres before there is a problem tho.
Uhhhh….yeah 😀
Yes. Do you know what caused it? This is definitively not just a paint chip as you can clearly see that the resin that binds the fibers has been compromised. Damage to carbon fiber should always be taken serious as there is a higher likelihood there is damage beyond what the eye can see. And if you aren’t aware, when CF fails it tends to fail catastrophically. If it were me and I knew what caused this damage I’d probably buy a two part epoxy product and apply it to the damage after sanding it down. I’d also probably go ahead and sand back the area of impact a 50-75mm (2-3”) to inspect for additional damage and peace of mind. If you have the time and resources box it up and send it off to have a pro repair it as they’ll likely xray the frame and provide documentation of additional damage.
Its paint and filler damage 99,9999 cosmetic since the area is solid carbon chunk.
A coin test will give you and idea where the thickness varies.
Damaged, get a new frame
