[meteorite-list] Hunting meteorites

[Rafael B. Torres]

Hello List!, I ve been off he list for some time, hehe but Im back again 
:)....Well during the weekend I had the chance of going to one hot spring 
near my city, its called Cuatro Cienegas and I was told that there are some 
NASA scientists studying that hot spring because its one of few places in 
the world where stromatolites are formed. I believe that stromatolites are 
ancient fossils or at least it could be the kind of life that we can expect 
to find in Mars or other planets. So scientists study those cuz I has clues 
to the origin of more advanced forms of life in the Earth. I think they are 
pretty cool, I went to a tour in the river and at the end we got to the main 
hot spring, where the water comes out of the ground and I had the 
opportunnity to bring samples of stromatolites with me, but I dont know how 
to preserve them.

Please can somebody tell me how to keep them?, so they wont break up, cause 
they break easily adn I would like to preserve them to keep them in my 
collection.

Thanks a lot and hope to see you all soon! :)
