Hey guys I have some fossils I collected from the Coon Creek of Tennessee. The resident paleontologist, and other trip goers told me to use floor wax to seal these delicate fossils. They aren't permineralized and therefore crumble and crack very easily. Is there a better alternative to floorwax? I read both yes and nos on its usage. I don't like modifying fossils if I don't have to, but I've had multiple fall apart already.

I have dug up a number of middle Pleistocene bivalves and gastropods but some have a very friable (crumbly) matrix. Is there some spray or something to seal and preserve it?
