  We propose a simple model of production of strange baryons and antibaryons in
nuclear collisions at the CERN SPS. The model takes into account both the
increase of strangeness production in collisions of lighter ions and a
possibility of the formation of anomalous, strangeness rich matter in central
PbPb interactions. It is shown that ratios like $<\Omega>:<\Xi>:<\Lambda>$
depend strongly on the presence of anomalous matter and can be used to
determine its phenomenological parameters. In the model we assume that particle
composition of final state hadrons is essentially given by a rapid
recombination of quarks and antiquarks formed in tube-on-tube interactions of
incoming nucleons.
