Seashells contain calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid in the vinegar and causes carbon dioxide bubbles to form. Even though the acid in vinegar is weak it can, over a period of time, dissolve shells.
The shell itself is made of bone, and the outer covering of the shell is made of keratin, much like human fingernails. Each shell is made up of sections called scutes. As the turtle grows, new layers of keratin are formed around the outer edges of each scute, looking much like the growth rings of a tree.
