Hi all, A bit of a newbie so apologies if this is a dumb question but was hoping for the naming nomenclature a bit more. I understand that sp. means species (used when the species is unknow, but the genus isn't) and indet. means indetermined. But what does cf. mean? classification? I've seen it used before the genus and also after followed by a person's name. For example, I read on this forum a tooth found in the Bull creek canyon formation belonging to cf Coelophysis. Aswell as ready of a Apachesaurus cf. A gregorii. Are there any other terms that are frequently used?

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone would perhaps known enough about graptolites to possibly be able to tell me a little bit more about the specimen pictured (if the picture allows, what species perhaps)? I found it years ago when collecting fossils on Manitoulin Island (about 1.30h from where I live in Northern Ontario) if this helps at all.
