Both my engines look like something may be broken off the thermostat housing. Amy I missing something here?

That's the water thermoswitch. It's a one wire sensor that turns on the fan.

Ok, follow up question/problem:

On the left is the broken sensor from the thermostat housing, on the right is what I received - and what everyone shows as a “coolant temperature sensor”. So apparently I’m not searching for the correct part. 

Does anyone know the p/n for the part on the left(also pictured above)?

I used the parts fiche at Jim Ellis Mazda. It looks like part number N35018840 .

It's a pricey little fellow.
