I did. I note that 1. water carries dissolved calcium carbonate. 2. It can
enter an empty shell. 3. It then evaporates. 4. It deposits a layer of
calcium carbonate.
There is nothing more to explain. I still can't figure out your reasoning
as to why snails HAVE to come from the 4th dimension.

Please show me from their book or from Courant and Hilbert's work, which I
have read in that regard, that your inference is correct. Are you a
mathematician or physicist? I am asking if you have the background to
understand their math?

But that is not at all what Barrow and Tipler are saying. They aren't
saying communciation occurs only in what we percieve, they are pointing out
that if it exists (and has topological connection with our other 3
dimensions) that no communication would be possible. By having the comet
come from the 4th dimension you are implicitly assuming that that 4th
spatial dimension is topologically connected with ours.
Does evidence mean anything to you? does the fact that we observe loess
forming today with no 4th dimenstional involvement mean anything to you?
