Exclamation Eggs have major dimples?

I've been incubating my turtle eggs now for approximately 3 days. I collected them right after she laid them and realized they had a few minor dimples already. They've been kept in the mid 80's and I haven't let the humidity drop below 80%. One egg is perfectly plump but the others are very dimpled, and one is so caved in I'm beginning to doubt it's viability. Is it possible they're all duds except for one? I'm getting very worried

Re: Eggs have major dimples?

You can take a flashlight and candle them to look for blood vessels, google for an example of what it looks like. Caring for Turtle Eggs

This site says that dents don't matter and to ignore them. The same site also says that most turtle eggs can't be candled due to the way they are and can crack if you try it.
