The vinegar removes the calcium carbonate from the eggshell, which is the mineral responsible for the shell's hardness. This process dissolves the calcium carbonate, leaving behind the egg membrane.
The mineral calcite is an example of a carbonate mineral. Carbonate minerals contain the carbonate ion (CO3) in their chemical composition.
Limestone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate. However, calcium sulfate is not typically found in limestone; it is a separate mineral known as gypsum.
calcium carbonate
Shells are usually composed of calcium carbonate formed by marine organisms like mollusks. The calcium carbonate is secreted by the organism and hardens over time to create the structure of the shell.

In the chemical composition of snail shells the major element is calcium carbonate (97.5%); the rest is represented by calcium phosphate and silicate, magnesium carbonate and oxide, iron and manganese oxide and other organic substances.
Limestone is a mineral largely composed of calcium carbonate.

Calcium carbonate is none of these, it is a mineral salt.
