I meant to add this to the previous post today. This also has the references mentioned in the previous post.

Calcium-Rich Foods and Calcium Sources

• Dairy products
• Leafy greens (Are OK, but not as bioavailable as dairy)
• Cruciferous vegetables (good bioavailability)
• Seeds and almonds
• Canned, bone-in fish

Dairy Products

• Dairy products generally correlate with better bone health.
• The vast majority of clinical studies have shown that drinking milk or consuming other dairy products leads to a positive calcium balance. 

Other Bone Health Synergists

• Weight bearing exercise, weights
• Magnesium is especially important
• Collagen
• Glycine, lysine, and proline with vitamin C: good sources are animal proteins, organ meats, bones, joints, and tendons.
