Had it suggested to me on Treasure Net that this could be a cranium of some sort, what are your thoughts? - Roughly 2.5"x2.5" and spherical in shape - appears to have some sort of seam that's visible from the outside but not the inside - Hard and inflexible (overall strength and hardness I'd compare to a thick popsicle stick) - Found on a newly exposed sand bank along the North Saskatchewan River

This was found by my wife, very heavy, it is fossilized bone but looks like there are air pockets on the inside? I read that mastodon skulls have air pockets, possibly also bison?

Hi, everyone! Got a strange one for you and would appreciate any helpful advice! Found in a cave in Scotland. Would have normally considered it a cranial fragment due to the rough texture on the flat side, but the strange, raised honeycomb/chain pattern on the other side is throwing me off. Not necessarily versed in fossils so figured this would be the place to go just to check for that. Photo is a bit misleading, btw - it’s a dark brown colour. Sorry for the lack of photo scale, used a 1p coin which was all I had on me.

Hello together, I was so lucky to obtain a fossil neurocranium of A penguin (Spheniscus sp.) some time ago. While this is an interesting piece, it didn´t look like much, so I decided to give it a prosthesis based on a 3d scan of its modern relatives. Here is the result:
