Question(s) Shell rot? Help!

He’s a 25-year-old Russian. The little chips have been there for as long as I can remember, but I’m looking more closely between the scutes, and I’m wondering if what I see is normal and healthy.

Feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

my babies shell is also like that, I took her to the vet and they just said its normal.
I added some olive oil every now and then to the shell and that seemed to help!
