For any convex body C in ℝd we introduce the notion of the convex shell and we prove that there exists a unique "minimal" convex shell, extending the notion of the minimal spherical shell of C. Then we prove that a "typical" convex body touches the boundary of its minimal convex shell in precisely d + 2 points.
