Mystery gasket?

Replacing the cylinder head and decided to clean everything before putting it back together. Got the valve cover off and noticed the little splash shield thing inside. I removed that and noticed it had a gasket between it and the valve cover. Does this gasket come with a typical head gasket set? What's it called in case I need to buy it separate? Or do I even need it? Thanks.

what I did was clean the cover and the splash shield,, and put them together with rtv grey silicon, let them dry half a day .

I was able to get that "mystery" gasket as part of a valve cover gasket set from NAPA auto parts. Part # VS50037. I never did use the gasket however because I could not break loose some of the screws at the time.

That gasket is usually supplied with a cylinder head gasket set.
