I recently found a lot of great teeth in soft Eagle Ford formation slabs, and I'm working to prep a few to expose them better. This is my first prep project ever. The slabs are quite soft, and break apart easily if I'm not careful. What can I do as a preventative measure to avoid breakage of the matrix, and if matrix pieces have broken apart, is there a glue that I should use to get them back together in one piece again? Also, one of the slabs has a mosasaur tooth in it, and near the tip is a tiny crack that I'm worried may completely fail, breaking off the tip. I would like to find a clear glue or coating that would stabilize it before I continue further. I'm not sure about how specific I have to be about the nature of the matrix to get the right glue, so just in case I'll tag a few locals who have probably worked with these soft eagle ford slabs before, @LSCHNELLE @JohnJ @Uncle Siphuncle Thanks for any help

I have been lucky to find pieces of an ivory tusk (mammoth or mastodon) in the Peace River approx. 2 weeks ago. I have taken some photos to show what it looked like when found, two after consolidating showing how some large pieces fit together and then photos of the many loose pieces. I will have a nice jigsaw puzzle to work on once I consolidate the remaining pieces. I am hoping for suggestions on what glue or adhesive to use to try and rebuild the tusk. I have researched options that included super glue, gorilla glue and other adhesives. Which is best and easiest to work with? Photo #1 - tusk when found Photo #2 - three largest pieces consolidated with acetone and vinac. Photo #3 = tusk pieces properly aligned . Photos #4 & #5 - puzzle pieces to be consolidated and used to rebuild the tusk as best I can I will post progression photos and the final product when done. Thanks for any help on the adhesive/glue question.
