3 years ago3 years agoHey Jeanette @jeanette-pirlo,

I am trying to upload the photos and videos of the PD to the group but it is only allowing me to do 5 at a time. Is there a place to upload the entire collection of photos and videos?
Also were the professional photos posted somewhere? I would love to have some of the group shots for my presentation I am giving to fossils…[Read more]

3 years ago3 years agoHi everyone.
I had such a wonderful time at the PD.

I think that @george-powell has used Elmer’s glue to stabilize his fossils. We use a special glue here at the museum. @vperez do you have any good ideas?

There are a number of different consolidants that could be used. Our museum website has a page with some helpful information https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/vertpaleo/amateur-collector/preparation/

The shelly critters from the Paleozoic can be wrapped in toilet paper to stop from knocking around in bags or containers- this is usually what I do. Or just fill any void space in a container with toilet paper so that they can’t move around.

A couple of readily available options are Duco cement which can be purchased on line at Walmart or in many hobby stores or super glue. Dilute either of these about 1 part glue to 5 parts acetone and paint it on the fossils. Diluting the cement ensures it is carried into the fossil locking everything down.
