When animals die in Lake Natron, the high alkalinity and mineral content of the water can lead to a process called calcification. Alkaline water can cause animal bodies to be preserved in a calcified form, essentially turning them to stone. This unique preservation process can result in eerie and fascinating visual displays, in which the remains appear petrified
