Eggshell Crystal Structure

Eggshell Crystal Structure is a biomineralized composite material belonging to the class of hierarchical crystalline architectures, distinguished by its highly ordered arrangement of calcium carbonate crystals in the form of calcite, organized into distinct morphological layers that confer mechanical strength and physiological functionality to avian eggshells.
