Well, it's not really thin and working with them tells you that they have some definite thickness. Perhaps to measure them, soak a raw egg in white vinegar for about 24 hours and then wash it off. You should end up with a pliable semitransparent egg membrane enclosing the insides of the egg. I would think you could get a rough idea by using a caliper to measure the thickness after you rupture the membrane. Good Luck!

When an egg is placed in acetic acid, the acid will start to break down the calcium carbonate in the eggshell. As a result, the eggshell will dissolve, leaving behind the inner membrane of the egg. This process is a demonstration of a chemical reaction between the acid and the calcium carbonate in the eggshell.
