according to <http://www.serve.com/BatonRouge/nutrition/eggshell.htm>

the Ca:Mg ratio in egg shells is around 100:1, so the Mg content is

negligible, and the same goes for the other minerals. So it's pretty

much pure Ca.

Ah. Do you happen to know the nutrient content of shrimp, whole with shells?
