How to stabilize fossil bovine tooth?

[Brachiopods]

Hi all

I found a fossilized bovine tooth while creek walking several months back. While it seemed stable at first, it now has begun to develop some fine cracks in the mineralized enamel, and one small flake has already come off.

I was hoping to learn the optimal way to stabilize a fossil like this. What would you all treat it with?

I attached a photo if it helps.

 

Thanks!

Search this forum for information on Paraloid.

Get some Paraloid and mix a roughly 50:1 ratio of acetone to Paraloid. With a small brush, apply this to the cracks repeatedly. It will wick into the cracks and hold them together. You can even use it to hold the flake in place. Just put it back in and apply the Paraloid solution. Once you shave it stabilized, you can wipe the Paraloid off the surface with acetone.
