I know teeth contain a high proportion of fluorapatite (apatite group). Higher than bone. I'm not sure about calcite though...i'm still trying to answer that one.
Yes there is.
Limestone is made of the shells of dead ocean organisms. Their shells are made of calcite.Hope i helped1 :)
No. Calcite is a carbonate mineral.
Limestone and Marble have calcite in them.
The mineral made up of a calcium compound and commonly found in marble is called calcite. Calcite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and is often the main component of marble, providing its characteristic white color.
Calcite is limestone so some walls and furniture in certain houses could be made of calcite. Severaly art sculptures are made using Limestone as well. Calcite is the mineral form of calcium carbonate and limestone is comprised mainly of the mineral calcite. Lime, a product of cooked calcium carbonate, is the cement used in concrete foundations, sidewalks, and tile grout. Tums, an antacid, is made from calcium carbonate. Lime is also used in cardboard packaging and in glassmaking. Calcite is also used in some cosmetics, dietary supplements, vinyl flooring, drywall compound, paint, plastic piping, and drywall.
Diatoms are used since they are a fine abrasive which can be used for "scrubbing" our teeth.
Calcite is a mineral which is made up of the elements, calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
It is mostly calcite.
calcite is a mineral compound because its made up of two or more elements.

eggshell is made up of calcite crystals and keratin fibres

I understand you are asking for MINERALS not compounds or elements. In which case the minerals that make teeth strong are Calcite and Apatite, while in bones the mineral is mainly Calcite However, the elements needed for strong bones and teeth (which make up the minerals) are Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Fluoride. Milk is a good source of these elements.
The mineral calcite is composed of calcium, carbon, and oxygen. The chemical formula is CaCO3.
Limestone is composed chiefly of calcite
Chemical limestone can form when calcite is dissolved.
