Crustaceans' teeth are primarily made of a hard mineral called calcium carbonate. This mineral is often found in the form of calcite or aragonite, which provides strength and rigidity to their feeding structures. Additionally, some crustaceans may have teeth composed of chitin, a flexible organic compound that contributes to the overall structure and function of their mandibles. Together, these materials allow crustaceans to effectively process their food.

Why are cupcakes water teeth and oxygen not minerals?
A mineral is a solid with a crystalline structure that is made by geological processes. Water and oxygen would not fit under that category because they do not have a crystalline structure, and made from the earth. A cupcake may actually contain minerals in it, but a cupcake wouldn't count because it is a man-made food that doesn't originate in the earth. Teeth are made from calcium, a mineral, but teeth themselves are not made from the earth, they are made by body functions.
