Dr. Stephen Rowland's Introduction to Paleontology Laboratory used the SEM to look at fossilized and modern eggshells.   They found a membrane in the modern eggshells that was absent in the fossilized shells...

 

They examined diatoms in pool filter material...

 
And, they found coccoliths in old blackboard chalk samples.  Modern blackboard chalk does not have coccoliths.
