I am a graduate student in paleontology and am currently working on a project regarding fossil turtle eggs. The only way to compare these fossil eggs with modern turtles, is by analyzing the micro-structure both with an electron microscope. However, most museum collections do not have egg shells of living turtles, so I need to make my own collection.
Would anybody be willing to donate some eggshells to my project? All I need is the actual eggshell, not the egg with the turtle, so everybody who is breeding turtles should have want I want after the turtles hatch. I already have a number of egg-shells, especially of NA emydids (Trachemys, Chrysemys, Pseudemys, Graptemys), but I am still in need for pretty much everything else. To sample the full amount of recent turtle-diversity, I especially would need eggshells from Macroclemmys, Staurotypus, Dermatemys, Platysternon, Carettochelys.
If you are interested in donating eggshells, please contact me first to clarify if I will need eggshells from the species you have. If you know somebody who breeds rare turtles, I would be grateful if you could forward this message to him/her. As I mentioned before, all I need is the eggshell, however, it is very important that I know what shell came from what species.
Many thanks,
Walter
