Hi. My nephew has a Halite specimen that is on a matrix that is increasingly unstable. We suspect that the matrix may have a high salt content. Is there any agent/solution that would help in stabilizing a matrix with a potential salt content? Thanks.

There have been other microbes freed from ice or salt before, but if these are indeed alive they shatter all records for oldest living things by about 600 million years!!! https://www.sciencealert.com/830-million-year-old-microorganisms-found-trapped-in-australian-rock/amp

Hi all, Yesterday I went to the Zandmotor, and I brought back a couple of bones from there (namely an awesome big mammal tooth). I left them tonight just in the living room so that they could dry, but when I came back this morning I had an unpleasant surprise: many of the pieces of bone had started to become white (as seen in the first picture), and the big tooth has started to decompose (as in there are constantly small crumbs of the tooth that are falling off; you can see small black spots next to the tooth in the picture, those are some of those crumbs). I am very worried about this, and wouldn't want my fossils to get damaged. Can anyone tell me how to keep them safely? As in what are some of the best conservation methods? The bones were found on a sandy beach, so I think that salt has a role in this... Please help fast! Happy Easter, Max
