Leaving in the morning for 2 weeks in the field. Hopefully I will keep you updated during that time.

I wonder if there is a way to compare current positioning of such a mating ground with what you are finding. My daydream is that the deposits were shore line and the empty chambers washed up to the "beach" like we see with cuttlebones. Granted cuttlebones are lighter and you mentioned little water movement but the one picture brought the beach idea to mind.
