### Message Tombstone
Tombstone keeps record of deleted objects for few epochs until they are
purged from the NeoFS network.


| Field | Type | Label | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- |
| expiration_epoch | [uint64](#uint64) |  | Last NeoFS epoch number of the tombstone lifetime. It's set by tombstone creator depending on current NeoFS network settings. Tombstone object must have the same expiration epoch value in `__NEOFS__EXPIRATION_EPOCH` attribute. Otherwise tombstone will be rejected by storage node. |
| split_id | [bytes](#bytes) |  | 16 byte UUID used to identify the split object hierarchy parts. Must be unique inside container. All objects participating in the split must have the same `split_id` value. |
| members | [neo.fs.v2.refs.ObjectID](#neo.fs.v2.refs.ObjectID) | repeated | List of objects to be deleted. |

| <a name="uint64" /> uint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint64 | long | int/long |
