Megalonyx femur prep advice

Hi folks,

 

I recently found this Pleistocene mammal bone in an alluvial deposit midway up a cliff.  Part had broken off when I found it, but I was able to collect all the pieces of what appears to be a Megalonyx femur.  My stumbling block now is that I have zero prep experience and this is obviously a pretty good find so I don't want to mess it up... I had been reading up on the posts here about prepping and was waffling between paleobond or butvar to consolidate it and then paleobond to repair the breaks.  I am also leaning towards having someone with more experience/a professional do the prep work but don't know what that would cost me and the logistics of it (it is located in Santa Barbara County, CA).

 

Does anyone have some suggestions or advice on the best course of action at this point?  Thanks!
