Hi Odin,

You could also ask how to remove the stone out of a rock...
I am afraid it will not be possible without destroing the fossil, and i presume that is not your intention.
Leave it as it is, and when the pyrites goes rotten, you`ll probably have to throw it away...

good luck with the pyrites,
greetings, Bert

OK then I will just try with the varnish. Oh well, it couldn't be much worse. :(

Hi Odin, I am afraid it can get worse; the stuf that comes out pyritised material when it goes rotten, is called melanterite and is highly toxic.
Please always wash your hands thoroughly after handeling such material!

Good luck!
greetings, Bert

I will do! But it has made a rusty stain on the patio. It is all in the shed.
