Gunn Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 So I found this tooth over a decade ago while canoeing down a local river. I always have had little flakes coming off and I finally decided to see if I could find a way to keep it from falling apart. It is only flaking off from the root of the tooth. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 What a gorgeous tooth! Welcome to the forum. i would get my hands on some sort of consolidant such as PVA beads that can be dissolved in acetone. A consolidant penetrates dries and then strengthens fossil bone. i ordered mine from the BlackHills Institute. A little goes a long way in terms of the PVA beads.

Gunn Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Thank you for the welcome and Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. When i apply it I should probably stay away from the crown part correct? Edited October 9, 2017 by Gunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
