A better picture, for whatever it is worth. (Yea its broke and needs to be replaced)
I agree it is a strange looking break. More a brittle fracture than a malleable twist. But the tip should have some hardness, just not brittle.
And it was running after the break, so the ends may have touched, if the broken tip didn't fall farther into the pump recess. It doesn't look like they rubbed.

I will drain the oil pan into a clean plastic tub and look for any engine debris there.
