The egg tooth helps baby turtles cut through the leathery shell when they are ready to hatch. It doesn't persist much past hatching.
The egg tooth is the structure that develops on the upper mandible, near the tip of the beak, in a chick before it hatches.The neck muscles push the egg tooth against the shell to crack it open.
Yes, turtles lay amniotic eggs. These eggs have a protective membrane called the amnion that surrounds the developing embryo and helps prevent dehydration.
a small calcum deposit on the chicks beak to help break through the egg when they hatch.

Yes, turtles have adaptations related to egg laying, such as specialized hind limbs for digging nests, a hard shell to protect the eggs, and a strong maternal instinct to care for the eggs until they hatch.
Hatchling turtles break out of their eggs by the use of an egg tooth. The egg tooth is a very sharp, small, white tooth on the tip of the turtles beak. It is the only tooth that the turtle will ever have. The baby will break a hole though the tough egg wall and then rest for a bit. Soon the baby will be back at the job and will use the egg tooth to cut though the egg enough to crawl out. Or he might break open the egg and then choose to sit in his egg for a couple days before finally coming out. Once the baby has broken through the egg wall the egg tooth pops off.
Sea turtles, like all turtles, do not have teeth.
Do turtles lay eggs, you mean? Yes.
The shell of the egg is made of the same stuff as the inside layer of a tooth.
It helps it to get out of the egg when it is hatching. It is not a tooth in the proper sense and in most cases it is lost after hatching.
A baby chick typically loses its egg tooth within the first few days after hatching. The egg tooth is used to break through the shell during the hatching process, and once the chick is out of the egg, it is no longer needed.
the egg tooth it takes 21 days
Yes, a bird's egg tooth is a temporary structure used to help the chick break through the eggshell during hatching. The egg tooth typically falls off or is absorbed shortly after hatching, as it is no longer needed once the chick has emerged from the egg.
Baby alligators have one egg tooth when they're born that helps them to get out of the egg
Yes.
Yes. The only tooth that a modern bird could have that I am aware of is an egg tooth that some chicks possess when they are trying to hatch from the egg but the egg tooth falls off soon after hatching.
