Mud lobsters

Fossils of the mud lobster are considered pseudo fossils.
They are the moult of the exoskeleton that sheds periodically as it grows.
They 'fossilise' in the mangrove mud and are replaced with calcium carbonate, strontium and iron.
They are found enclosed in hard, calc-lutite concretions.
These concretions are washed out of the containing beds onto the beach by heavy seas where they are collected.
