Figure 8.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of an equatorial region of eggshell between the outer surface and the mammillary layer, generated using X-ray mCT. The reconstruction is positioned (A) to cut through vertically a pore along one face of the image with high-density material (calcite) shown as white and other material/space in grey. In (B), the dense material is shown transparent with the pore false coloured in shaded yellow to show its full shape and orientation through the shell matrix (colour version available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00071668.2014.924093). Scale bar = 400 µm, resolution = 1.5 µm.
