Dry Rot

A lot of joists in my crawl space have an imperfection> long powdery cracks. I assumed it was dry rot, but now I'm wondering if it is just poor timber. The house is about 60 years old and the flooring is rimu, it could be non durable sap wood. I think a sap wood problem isn't as bad as dry rot???

When you tap on them with a small hammer is there a nice ring or a thud? I've seen sap crystalize like that too.
