The solubility of calcium carbonate is very low but higher than a lot of other things. Most Calcium Carbonate in shells and the like comes from calcium from other sources in the water and the Carbon dioxide in the air. Once it has been made it is pretty much destine for deposition and fossilization. So an egg shell in water just gets wet.
