We need more light and closer up photos. Looks most like wood.

 

Where is Happisburgh? Formations in the area might help us give a better ID.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

I agree with wood.

I will take some better photos tomorrow. I thought it may have been wood but it is very dense and heavy, not what you'd expect with wood. Happisburgh is in Norfolk, UK .

It might be mineralized wood. How hard is it? Does a metal knife blade scratch it?
