Die chip or break?

I found this 2007 1c searching rolls today. On the reverse, is that considered a break or a chip.

Edit: It's almost twice the thickness of the Lincoln Memorial.

Filled die, perhaps?

Ah, of course - it can't be a filled die because of the location of this anomaly. yes, a chip -- other way 'round.

Yes, quite cool.

So what exactly is the difference in a chip and a break?

Here's a couple examples of breaks and cracks...

A Die Chip is like taking a hammer and knocking a chip out of a concrete slab. A die crack/break is like the concrete slab cracking linear over a distance. Replace the word "concrete slab" with "coin die" and there you have it. When the coin is struck, the metal flow upwards into the chip, crack, break and forms a raised area on the coin.

Replace the word "concrete slab" with "cheese wheel"
