Ok, heres my postulation even though Im no eggspert.



Sorry, couldnt resist.



So, before an egg calcifies in the "womb without a view".....sorry again....it's probably transparent and encapsulated with blood vessels and such, maybe even just right at the spot where the embryo attaches itself to the egg wall. Maybe this became such an obtuse obstruction at the edge of the membrane that the calcium didnt form completely over it, and just formed around it instead.



But, what do I know, I poke myself in the nose with straws all the time.
