is this normal?

The plant is big beef and i've noticed three new fruit that are heart shaped in my opinion

am I just seeing things, I don't think the picture really does it justice. None of the other fruits on those plants have exhibited that shape. Any ideas?

I have Big Beef ( Dehybridized Version ) and it did that same shape on a few tomatoes early on but as they matured the shape has returned to a more normal beefsteak shape. I assume from the picture these are still very young Tomato's so chances are they will adjust shape as well. I have noticed this similar occurence on a few other varieties as well this year so I am pretty sure this is not abnormal.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I had no real concerns just curious.
