Fullers Earth

Important uses are in absorbents and filters. Because of this, it is used (with activated charcoal) in the treatment of paraquat poisoning to prevent the progression to pulmonary fibrosis. Fuller's earth is also used by military and civil emergency service personnel to decontaminate the clothing and equipment of soldiers and CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear) responders who have been contaminated with chemical agents.
Fuller's earth has also been used extensively for many years in the motion picture industry for a variety of uses. In the area of special effects, it is used in pyrotechnics explosions and dust clouds because it spreads farther and higher than most natural dirt soils resulting in a blast that looks larger. It is also safer than naturally-occurring dirt, should the blast spray hit actors. Fuller's earth is also widely used by the make-up, props, wardrobe, and set dresser departments because it is considered a "clean" dirt, safer to use around people, and it cleans up easily. However, the health issues in this regard have been debated recently.
Pyrolite, an alternative soil, has been introduced to replace fuller's earth.
Fuller's earth is available in small quantities by make-up suppliers for use in making the face and body appear dirty. It is used by props technicians in a flour sieve to make furniture look dusty. Wardrobe dressers use a small, loose-mesh cloth bag filled with fuller's earth to dust down clothing to make it look more worn or dusty, as in the case of cowboys out on the range, or soldiers on the battle field. Set dressers use fuller's earth to change paved streets into dirt roads, to create dust trailing from a moving vehicle over a dirt road, or to indicate a vehicle trail over untraveled ground.

Cuttlefish Bone

Cuttlebone is composed primarily of aragonite. It is a chambered, gas-filled shell used for buoyancy control; its siphuncle is highly modified and is on the ventral side of the shell.[2] The microscopic structure of cuttlebone consists of narrow layers connected by numerous upright pillars.
Depending on the species, cuttlebones implode at a depth of 200 to 600 metres (660 to 2,000 ft). Because of this limitation, most species of cuttlefish live on the seafloor in shallow water, usually on the continental shelf.[3]
n the past, cuttlebones were used in making polishing powder. The powder was added to toothpaste, and used as an antacid or as an absorbent.
Today, cuttlebones are commonly used as calcium-rich dietary supplements for caged birds, chinchillas, hermit crabs, and reptiles
