I guess they are scientists and know better than me, but my bet is that is will just contain sludge.
Egg shells are more organic than you expect.
This is why you use stuff like waterglass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate to seal them.

The eggshell looks like a century egg, but as mentioned by the comment the contents may have decomposed if the mud wasn't alkaline like the century egg production process.

Of course they are going to break it.

I wonder why they don't put it in a CT scanner first before breaking it.

Story of an egg that never hatched.

I'm willing to bet there's a dragon in that egg.
