Do you know what this egg deformity is?

Hey everyone,
Every few days for about 3 weeks one of my chooks laid an egg like this. I can't find anything on websites that looks like it. She has since stopped laying these, but would love to know the cause so I can try to prevent it in the future.

    It's not a hole made by a claw or beak is it?
    I gave my girls plain yoghurt when they laid eggs without shells and that helped after a couple of days.

      No, it looks sort of like grains of shell stuck together and they are always in the same spot. The chooks appear healthy in every other way...

    l've had a couple like this in January and wondered why it had happened. l would also love to know what caused it. The chooks had plenty of crushed oyster shell available.
