The incompetence of the media is amazing!
They mixed the two photos, the one found by
Super70 and the other one (the one posted by jkrog80), from a different photo, the one posted on
the Lunar Explorer Italia site.
The photo from the OP (PSP_009342_1725) was taken on 24 July 2008, at 7.2° S, 267.4° E.
The other photo (PSP_006737_1265) was taken on 3 January 2008, at 53.1° S 125.4° E, a completely different place.
The result is that we are left without knowing what photo was considered explained by the "breaking away from the bedrock" explanation. I suppose
that they were talking about the photo from the OP because that is also what I consider the most probable explanation, while the second photo (the
square looking object) appears in a flat area without anything in sight from which it could have broke.
The Daily Mail article goes further into "confusion mode" by showing the two photos as if they are the same. Apparently they do not look at what
they publish.
It looks like someone from the media is looking at ATS threads and not reading beyond the OP...
