Dinosaur skull (fossil) or concretion?

Hi guys, 

               Brand new to the forum, but excited to be here. I found this in an area where water used to be very high all around me. In fact in a great deal of Thornton Co. In this case I am around the Niver trail. I am not so much the expert in geological terms so I will forego the effort in outlining this, but I will say the rocks around are very interesting. A lot of petrified wood, some form of molten rocks and evidence of extreme heat, has made for some interesting mineralization many of my finds. I look forward to your advice and have much more to show and hopefully learn from your feedback. Thanks for looking :)

Yes, rocks are extremely interesting and can take on an infinite number of forms which remind us of something we've seen before. Anyway, this here is definitely not a dinosaur skull. Perhaps someone else who is familiar with the geology in your area could give you more precise information on this piece of rock.

This is the answer I was expecting and thought myself as well, but never hurts to gather information. Plenty more pics and questions to come. Thank you for your reply

More rocks - weathered limestone, I think.
