At the turn of the 20th century, huge piles of oyster shells could be found outside the numerous seafood packinghouses of Maryland. Shrewd businessmen soon found lucrative uses for oyster shells, their industry's largest byproduct. In fact, by the 1930s, it was possible for the products made from shells to constitute "the greater part of the profits from the business."1 Oyster shells had a long history of use, due in part to the calcium and lime naturally occurring in them.

Archaeologists have even found that in colonial Connecticut, "oysters were more highly prized as a fertilizing agent than as table food."2 Along the southern Atlantic coast, shells mixed with sand and lime created tabby, a building material.3 In areas where oysters were abundant, such as the Chesapeake region and Boston, shells were used as paving and as fill. Another use of oyster shells was as flux in blast furnaces, found at Pine Barrens, New Jersey, and Nassawango, Maryland.4 The most lucrative uses for oyster shells, however, were to crush them as grit for poultry (chick grit) or burn them to extract lime for agricultural fertilizer. In order to grind the hard oyster shells into appropriate sizes for chick grit, oystermen used grinding mills, which were already available for crushing a multitude of substances.....
