Default is this even possible

no matter how hard i look i cannot find half of one of my rod bearings, i have looked on the crank, in the oil pan, on the pushrods, checked to see if it fell.. cant find it.. could it have completely dissinigrated?? haha
also while im at it.. are all of the rod bearings supposed to look the same?? cuz 3 halfs of mine, that i can find, have a lip that is cracked on it.. like, it isnt just a piece of metal curved to the shape of the crank, it has a lip bent over and all cracked up on 3 of them.. is that just how bad it blew??
