Unknown fish bone adhered to belemnite

[DE&i]

I’ve noticed what I believe to be a small fish bone stuck to the rostrum on one of my belemnites this one being a Cylindroteuthis puzosiana.

 

Can anyone else see the characteristics of a fish bone?

I'm thinking some kind of cranial bone... But I don't think I'd be able to identify it..

I am currntly picking through some Eocene sediments rich in small fish bones.  I am getting a lot that look like thos, but I d o not know what bone they are.  Good eye.

Thank you @The Amateur Paleontologistand @jpc for looking. It's a very addictive past time to while away the hours. Would you know of any downloadable PDFs to research such material.

not offhand.  I have one about Eocene fish bones, but it is primarily vertebrae, and certainly has no bones like this one.
