Preserving soft limestone external mold


Bill Hoddson

Recommended Posts

I have a large piece of soft limestone from Lake Texoma.  It contains an external mold of both a large and small ammonites.  These are the first cephalopods I've ever found, and I'd like to preserve them.

 

Any suggestions?

Clean them up and leave inside with air conditioning. They fall apart if left outside.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
