4. There are huge deposits of them under certain shales in the Midwest.
There are very few cannoli shell mines however because of restrictions on cannoli strip mines.

Were these deposits exploited however, it can be shown that the United States, unlike Italy where many mines have closed from depletion of the resources, has a 350 year supply of cannoli shells.
