Is this a fossilized skull?

Hello. I got this fossil from a friend. I don't know where he got it or where it came from. About 5.08 centimeters and weighs 10 grams. It is the size of a rodent or baby. Is this a skull? If not, what type of bone is it? Thanks.

@cckWhy do you think this is fishy? I got it from a friend at a stone age fair. I know it's bone, I just don't know what type of bone.

Could be part of a fish fossil. From my experience I can't see how it would be apart of a fish fossil though. If you know, feel free to let me know.

Sorry for being vague... look up sea robin skull and you’ll see what I was thinking... not saying that’s what it is, but it has similar components... and the texture looks like fossil fish bone often does.

The texture does indeed look like fish bone. The foramina seem like features that might be seen in a large jaw bone ?
