Yeah it's going into something. I was looking for one of those cool little clear plastic boxes they used to sell 8th's in up in NYC. That would be a great display case for it.

It looks like it'll fit in a petri dish, you could buy that for a few dollars and dump some clear handsanitizer in it and you'll need a syringe to take out any air bubble that comes in the handsanitizer, then you could seal this petri dish up with glue
Here's an example

I never tried hand sanitizer on bones but you ccould look it up
Goodluck

There's other preserving solution as well like, isopropyl or polyester casting resins like this one

If you opt out to go any one of this method I suggest get it as white as you can before attempting to preserve it otherwise you will not be please with the end result, when you preserve in resin or whatever, it will magnify whatever is in the solution

Yeah I'm going to look into the resin

2 part epoxies are great. Just make 100% sure that you get one that cures clear.
