    The chicken eggshell is 95 [citation needed]-97% [2] calcium carbonate crystals, which are stabilized by a protein matrix. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ] Without the protein, the crystal structure would be too brittle to keep its form and the organic matrix is thought to have a role in deposition of calcium during the mineralization process.
