>aluminum foil works surprisingly well as a wrap to cushion fossils.<
Just be aware that it is used to wrap other things. I know someone who arranged to pick up some fossils for a museum, meeting the collector on a street corner. A policeman thought this exchange of small foil-wrapped packages looked suspicious. At least it was relatively easy to show that they had cormorant bones, not drugs.
