Some groups also grasp algal filaments or plants with it. These claws are distinctive to species based on the size and spines and hardened, so they preserve well for paleolimnology study of the sediments.

From tracking water quality changes from ~1850 onwards to understanding how climate and land use shape ecosystems, paleolimnology is revealing how vital lakes have evolved—and what it means for their future.

Here's a paper on damming of Blue Creek by migrating dunes during the Holocene. The lead author is the *other* J. Mason who has published on the Sandhills (J.P., not J.A.). link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Holocene history of lacustrine and marsh sediments in a dune-blocked drainage, Southwestern Nebraska Sand Hills, U.S.A. - Journal of Paleolimnology
As many as 2500 interdune lakes lie within the Nebraska Sand Hills, a 50 000 km stabilized sand sea. The few published data on cores from these lakes indicate they are typically underlain by less than...
