Hey everyone, my brain is mush right now so bear with me as I try to explain what I’m asking. I have what I thought was a pseudo fossil but another member identified it as “probably an internal mold of part of a large inoceramid bivalve such as Inoceramus lamarcki”. Photo of said item below. So, because it resembles a specific genus and species, but I don’t know for sure, how do I go about labeling it? That was just my personal example. I know about using the designation sp. when the species is unknown, and I know there are other designations but I can’t think of them or how they are used. Is there a handy guide for those others? Sorry if what I’m asking is so confusing, it’s -2 F degrees here and my brain is frozen. I can try to clarify if it’s unclear.

Object found at Happisburgh beach United kingdom from the Cromer forest bed, was unsure whether or not it was a bone or wood fragment, I gave it some force to see if it would snap to see if it was wood it did, but still unsure, when tapped with a hammer it sounds like stone, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
