I'm pretty sure nobody has asked about this before. My granddaughters went "mining" for fossils in Montana and found a bunch. They are remnants of fish and stuff that are millions of years old. They are encased in what appears to be limestone which is very soft and dusty. They will deteriorate pretty quickly unless there is some kind of protective coating over them. I'm wondering if a couple of coats of universal clear will work. Would there be any reactions with the lime base?
 
I would think more along the lines of pouring the uc in a mold that would turn in one of those pucks might be a better choice. Longest dry time and you expect them to be protected and bounce if they fell off a table.
 
The Clear will work with no problem, just b; ow off and spray.

BUT and BUT
There may be a better way as, in my opinion, the clear would take away the originality.
Id email some archeologists from the major university for ideas.
