Re: split beam?
Ron, when I see splits like these that are fully supported across the length of the beam/joist, I don't call them as long as the split doesn't run to the top or bottom edge of the beam. However, if the split has resulted in some twisting or canting of the beam/joist, then I would.

I wouldn't hurt to just make some mention in your report of the condition you observed and include supporting pics.
