Tooth Preparation

Greetings

I did some fossil hunting in Montana and came back with a few jewels.  I don't mind doing the prep for the hadrosaur and trike material, but any recs on who I can send this tooth to?  It is about 2.5 inches long and looks to be T. Rex. I want it to look as good as possible, but I am too much of a rookie to take it one myself. It still has a fair amount of matrix on it.

 

Thanks

Much of the lighter colour looks to be just damage to the enamel. Those areas are probably also more fragile. The darker enamel is likely the most stable. There's also the chance of enamel coming loose. So some stabilisation is probably also a good idea.
