    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium

    Natural calcium is a mixture of five stable isotopes (40 Ca, 42 Ca, 43 Ca, 44 Ca, and 46 Ca) and one isotope with a half-life so long that it is for all practical purposes stable (48 Ca, with a half-life of about 4.3 × 10 19 years). Calcium is the first (lightest) element to have six naturally occurring isotopes. [14]

    The Ca 2+ concentration of the vacuole may reach millimolar levels. The most striking use of Ca 2+ ions as a structural element in algae occurs in the marine coccolithophores, which use Ca 2+ to form the calcium carbonate plates, with which they are covered. Calcium is needed to form the pectin in the middle lamella of newly formed cells.
