Pebble (likely Quartz or Chert)
SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide) - referring to the likely main mineral composition, Quartz. If it's chert, the scientific name remains SiO₂ with a microcrystalline structure.
Unknown Organic Object (likely a berry or fruit)
Not applicable; this is not a geological specimen. If it were a cranberry, its scientific name would be Vaccinium macrocarpon; if a cherry, it would be Prunus avium or Prunus cerasus.
