Andrew,
Just latching on to one of your statements, namely that about pyrite
fossils and their slow (a few decades) disappearing act. I have an
ammonite and several small oysters that are pyrite fossils. I will have
no trouble isolating them but do you have any recommendation for
preserving them? I had always assumed once out of the weather, they
were here for ever. Any ideas?
