The bone cells that break down bone are called osteoclasts (bone+breaker). There are others called osteoblasts (bone+builder) which build bone. Usually there are about equal numbers of them in your body.
They are always breaking and rebuilding in a process called bone remodeling. This is a life long process and your body will replace bones at a 10% rate per year.
As you grow older, the osteoclasts out number the osteoblasts and the process of osteopenia (less dense bone) and osteoporosis ( weak bone) occurs.
2 living cells in bones are
1) Osteoblasts
2) Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts are the cells that create bone.

Yes in fact teeth are made of the compound hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3OH Most rocks and minerals are ionic compounds as well, ranging from gemstones to simple sedimentary materials.
Calcium is an essential element that is required for a host of processes in the body, including muscle contractions, electrical conduction of the heart, and bone development. Specifically more calcium intake results in more calcium being deposited in the bones which results in stronger bones that are less likely to fracture under compressional forces.
Vinegar should decalcify the bones. I.E. The bones are made out of mainly calcium carbonate. The vinegar will break it down. There are other compounds in the bones that will remain so the bones will seem soft.
No bones do not float in oil.
A calcific density is a medical phenomenon in which calcium builds up on body tissue and causes it to harden. Calcific densities can occur in many parts of the body. Calcific densities are caused by any disorder that leads calcium to be deposited in a part of the body other than the bones and teeth. Also known as calcifications, calcific densities can usually be seen in X-rays.
Osteoblasts.
The process of building up and breaking down bones is called calcification. This process begins with layers of calcium that are deposited on the bones or are removed from the bones via decalcification.
Collagen are protein fibers that form a lattice-like structure within the bone, where minerals are deposited.
permineralization
Most of the bodies calcium is deposited in bones.
All bones contain minerals.

Blood cells, whether you believe it or not, are produced from the bones. Bones are living things, and act as storehouses. Because the minerals to create blood cells are directly in the bones, cell production is most efficient.
Bones store minerals and calcium!

In general no. However, living things can incorporate minerals in their structures such as the shells of sea creatures and the bones of animals or structures in plants. Sometimes after the animal dies these minerals are left behind in the shapes that the animals or plants made them.
Total replacement of the minerals: replacement fossilization. Partial replacement of the minerals: perminalization fossilization.
