Bobby Rico Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hi all just sorted out some old fossil and found this fossilised seabed. I found it 20 years in a river in South Wales can't remember where it was. This was before I was interested in fossils or natural history. The fossil over years is going a chalky lighter shade , if that makes any sense. This is photographed wet too show the details . Has anybody got any advice to protect it. Kindest regards Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'd say it's fine as it is, but if you really want to you can coat it in a consolidant (paranoloid, vinac, butvar). “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would leave it the way it is , does not look like it is fragile at all. Looks like old writing........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I love hash plates and yours are very nice. Maybe post a picture without wetting the plates. It will give members a little different perspective. The detail on the plates would have me agreeing with Malcolm, but once dried, assuming you want to display them, I may change my mind and agree with Whodaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
