Hi,

 

To make a photo you don’t have to take the fossil in your hands, you have to put it on a solid surface, so it doesn’t move it

Coco has the right idea.  Let me elaborate: 

DON'T OBSCURE details of the fossil by pinching it between your fingers. If you want to use fingers to provide scale, support the fossil from below ... that is, on top of your fingers. To improve the focus, rest your hand with the fossil on a stable surface like a table or desk.  Use your "selfie stick" as a monopod to stabilize your phone camera.
