Looking for SEM photos or descriptions of Iguana eggshell.
Schleich and Kastle's Reptile Eggshells SEM Atlas doesn't have it.

Also, found a good paper on tuatara eggshell structure. Seems it retains
calcite crystals.

Packard, M.J., Hirsch, K.F. and Meyer-Rochow, V.B., 1982, Structure of
the Shell From Eggs of the Tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus. Journal of
Morphology 174: 197-205.
