Dear colleagues,
we face the problem that some of our fossils from the British Chalk (in
particular those from the Santonian of Kent) start to decay - only about 10
years after collecting and although the material has been varnished after
preparation. I guess this should be a familiar problem for some institutions
in the UK. Are there any suggestions why the decay starts and how to stop it?
Many thanks,
Jens
