Yes!
How?
The alkaline water in Lake Natron has a pH as high as 10.5 and is so caustic it can burn the skin and eyes of animals that aren't adapted to it. ... The water's alkalinity comes from the sodium carbonate and other minerals that flow into the lake from the surrounding hills.
The caustic lake has another strange quality: it appears to turn animals to stone. The scarlet waters of Lake Natron in northern Tanzania are eye-catching enough by themselves
But actually,
The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high that it would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds. The soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved, as they dry.
