 Eggshell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term eggshell is a term for the outer covering of a hard-shelled egg, and some forms of eggs with soft outer coats.
The generalized eggshell structure, which varies widely among species, is a protein matrix lined with mineral crystals, usually of a calcium compound such as calcium carbonate, along with sometimes lethal doses of arsenic
The eggshell is approximately 95% calcium carbonate crystals, which are stabilized by a protein matrix.

 Eggshell skull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The eggshell skull rule (or thin-skull rule) is a legal doctrine used in both tort law and criminal law that holds an individual liable for all consequences resulting from their activities leading to an injury to another person, even if the victim suffers unusual damages due to a pre-existing vulnerability or medical condition.
Nevertheless, the court found that since the kicking was unlawful, as it occurred during school and not on the playground, the 11 year-old boy was liable for the injury.
The rule rebuts the eggshell skull by arguing that whatever harm incurred by the victim was inevitable and the defendant's acts only had a minimal effect upon the already deteriorating circumstances.

 Effects of DDT on Birds:Does Dixy Know Something the Experts Do Not?, July 1994   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
She said eggshell thinning predates the use of DDT and has many other causes: diet poor in calcium or Vitamin D, fright, high nocturnal temperatures, toxic substances and diseases.
Other compounds can also induce some eggshell thinning to a lesser degree, but DDE was shown to be by far the most potent inducer among the environmental contaminants, and at levels comparable to those found all over the world in wild birds.
And when Dr. Ray talks about DDT not being responsible for eggshell thinning, she is talking about the parent compound which technically speaking, is true.

 CONCEPTS OF EGGSHELL QUALITY
The average eggshell contains about 0.3% phosphorous, 0.3% magnesium, and traces of sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, iron and copper.
However, excess vitamin D and its metabolites have not been shown to benefit eggshell quality when normal hens are already consuming adequate vitamin D. Other vitamins and trace minerals, when fed in excess of the hen's requirements, have failed to improve eggshell quality.
Usually, eggshell quality is not as much of a problem in cooler environments as it is in hot environments.

Since these bacteria are usually seen in eggs that have been contaminated through cracks in the shell, Bouldin theorized that poor eggshell quality allowed the bacteria to enter the egg.
Changes to eggshell quality over the lifespan of a laying hen are to be expected, and thus a hen's age could be an additional risk factor.

 InterPro: IPR002952 Eggshell protein
The complete sequence for a major eggshell protein gene from the human parasite Schistosome mansoni has been determined [ 1 ].
The deduced amino acid sequence demonstrates an abundance of glycine and tyrosine residues evenly distributed throughout the chain, an asymmetrical distribution of charged residues, and five well-conserved tandem repeats of 16-18 residues in the N-terminal region.
Birefringence studies have shown an ordered structure of the schistosome eggshell [ 2 ], which could be formed by packing of the polypeptides such that the N-terminal domain contributes counter ions or cross-links to the C-terminal domain of adjacent molecules.
