Description :
The eggshell of the lizard Calotes versicolor was studied by scanning electron microscope. The eggshell of the lizard is composed of outer calcareous layer and inner fibrous layer. Outer calcareous layer is not compact. The calcareous blocks are superficially placed. The inner fibrous layer is more thick than the calcareous layer. It appears like meshwork with fibers arranged in random fashion.
