This is something folks normally do not see, unless they have egg-laying chickens.
Every once in a while we get an egg with a membrane, but without a shell. It feels like a soft water balloon. The membrane was placed on the yolk and white, but it somehow slipped past the "shell mechanism" and the shell wasn't deposited.
This particular egg was laid on the coop floor just before the chickens went to roost, and froze overnight. We allowed it to thaw, and this is what we got. The white was watery and the yolk remained encased in the membrane. When broken open, the thawed yolk resisited being blended (as for scrambled eggs). We have seen the chickens eat the few shell less eggs thus far, so this egg became chicken food.

Shells from either Maine or Cape Cod. There's what looked to be a worm fossil under the big shell - but turned out to be just a sand trail.
Discovered in 1835, Margate's Shell Grotto is an astonishing find; 21 metres of winding passages decorated with 4.6 million shells. The walls are covered in images of gods and goddesses, trees of life and patterns of whelks, mussels and oysters. Some think it is an ancient Pagan grotto, others that it is simply an ornate Regency folly; but with no definitive explanation or history, the Shell Grotto is Kent's greatest mystery.
The carved-stone ‘Shell Fountain’, which resides in the beautiful Italian Gardens on the south side of the island, was not originally intended for that placement. Originally there were two, large carved shells – one on each side of the Arch. Over the years vandals destroyed or stole many of the architectural elements on the island and these were lost as well. Over 70 years later, the Thousand Island Bridge Authority found one of them, still intact, on the bottom of the Heart Island Lagoon and incorporated it into the ‘wishing well’ that it is now.
