Is this normal I've never seen it before Twins from one Tomato flower?

Checking on my Black Krims I found one fruit that looks like it's forming 2 separate fruit, if you look closely one is obvious the other has the falling flower stuck to it, I didn't want to pull it off and damage the fruit it's stuck pretty good.

There is a name for this. It is called catfacing and is caused by improper pollination due to weather conditions. The following picture is of

one of mine and one of the worst cases I have seen.
