Congrats.
They do get your attention, especially the first time you come across one.
I will throw this out there as well. Sometimes a break in the copper plating can allow the underlying zinc to start to react and dissolve ("Zinc Rot"). When this first happens the copper plating can actually start to expand upwards and rise. (Zinc reaction is similar to iron when it oxidizes).
It is hard to tell from your image which may be happening but I agree with john1 about it being a die chip from a broken post on the die since there doesn't seem to be other areas of zinc rot or "eruptions".
