The existence of a ferrite- and calcium-rich layer
under the Sun's photosphere, rotating rigidly once
in 27.3 days, has been claimed.

My question is: has a more precise rotation time
been recorded for this uniformly rotating shell?


If you're talking about Michael Mozina's ideas, it just isn't happening.
Here's a page with an illustration of the complex way rotation varies with depth and latitude <http://soi.stanford.edu/results/srotation.html>
