You raise a good question here because it could actually be some dirt from a soak
It is normal. Urine passes through whatever else is in the tail. There is almost always debris. In fact in a tub with clean water, the debris lets me know that he has urinated. I've noticed the pattern to be urine, bowel movement (if not already done outside), urates and then the inevitable moonwalk (male) during a soak.
As others mentioned, this could be dirt as well.
One other observation, when I used to watch mine drink water often/daily urine was almost clear. As I began soaking 1.5hrs per day in 2 back to back bathtub sessions, he drinks less that I see and his urine is darker. Like this.
