It's hard to tell form those pictures but it could possibly look like someone tried to delid the CPU in order to replace the thermal material that Intel used on the Ivy Bridge CPUs.
If it's been less than 30 days I would return it for another one.

If in looking at the CPU it looks ok except for the marks maybe you should try it in your motherboard, if it works then the marks mean nothing if it doesn't work then you will have a legitiment claim for getting another replacement.
The only other thing to do is contact Intel support and show them your pictures to see what they say.
