Unexpected morphological variability in the eggshells of the South American caimans Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractEggshell morphology is a valuable indicator of the local conditions within the nests of modern crocodilians and birds. In contrast to these latter, the anatomical structure of the eggshells of most crocodilian species is practically unknown. Here, we provide the first characterization of crocodilian eggshells, using x-ray micro-CT scans.
