Tentative identification refers to a preliminary assessment or classification of an object, individual, or phenomenon based on available evidence or characteristics, without full confirmation. It often occurs in scientific research, forensic analysis, or diagnostic contexts, where additional data or testing is required to establish a definitive identification. This process allows researchers and professionals to formulate hypotheses or take initial steps in further investigation.
Tentative refers to something that is uncertain, hesitant, or not fully decided. This can apply to plans, agreements, or decisions that are subject to change or confirmation. For example, a tentative schedule may indicate that the times and dates are not yet finalized. Similarly, a tentative response might reflect uncertainty or a lack of commitment.

Science's conclusions are not tentative in the sense that they are temporary until the real answer comes along. Scientific conclusions are well founded in their factual content and thinking and are tentative only in the sense that all ideas are open to scrutiny. In science, the tentativeness of ideas such as the nature of atoms, cells, stars or the history of the Earth refers to the willingness of scientists to modify their ideas as new evidence appears
