Default Bellhousing cracked

some how I managed to crack the bellhousing on my pickup it started at the hole where the throw out fork is at. There is a big chunk missing then three cracks comming off of it. does anybody have an idea what caused this? Is it comon?

I think I figured it out im pretty sure that my clutch came apart and knocked the hole in the bellhousing and its cracking because its weak
