So last week I went on my 2nd collecting trip to Yaxley. Was a bit disappointed. Didn’t find much. Just a clam, and this ammonite and gastropods The ammonite and gastropods are very flakey. If you barely touch them, some of the white material comes away What is the best way to stabilise them?

Hi, I am after a bit of advice please. Finally got out on a collecting trip at the dump of an abandoned coal mine. Plenty of plant material but it is very very fragile. Some of the pieces literally disintegrated as I lifted them up. So my initial thought is that with the specimens I have, how do I go about preserving them - prevent further cracking and flaking. I will tackle the broken ones at a later stage. The specimen in the photo is roughly 10 cm. Most of them are similar size or smaller. Any advice appreciated
