I am not a biologist. But I think oyster shells and clam shells and scallop shells are made of calcium and oxygen, which is how (millions of years later) we get the white cliffs of Dover and chalk. If there are vitamins in these shells, I'd be surprised, as I would have expected the former/present tennants to consume them before heading to Dover or anywhere else. Also, if the nutritional value (vitamins) were worth any notice, do you think we'd throw these things away by the truck-load? Yeah. Me neither. (Still, I have no factual basis for this answer... yet.)

What makes the oyster shell capable of removing stains?
The rough and porous texture of the oyster shell helps to physically scrub away stains when used as a cleaning tool. Additionally, the calcium carbonate in the oyster shell has mild abrasive properties that can help break down stains.
A water animal like an oyster whose shell has two parts hinged together?
An animal with a shell composed of two parts hinged together would be a bivalve, such as a mussel, clam, or oyster. Bivalves have two symmetrical shell halves that are connected by a hinge ligament, allowing the shell to open and close for protection and feeding. Oysters are filter feeders that play important roles in aquatic ecosystems.

What does a oyster shell feel like?
An oyster shell feels rough and textured on the outside, with a mix of ridges and bumps that can vary in intensity. The inner surface is smooth and glossy, often exhibiting shades of white or cream.

What are the adaptations of an oyster borer?
The oyster borer is adapted to bore through the hard shell of oysters using its specialized shell-crushing radula.
