Unknown Fossil Found Amelia Island Fl

Hey everyone this is my first post to the forum. I hope everyone is doing well. While fossil hunting in Amelia island I came across this fossil. At first I thought it was a Scute but after seeing photos it doesn’t have the craters you see in most scutes. Then I thought it was a Sea Robin Skull but it also looks different from that as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions on what it may be?

My first impression was of a piece of fish skull - maybe a parietal or frontal? Not sure.

Thank you for the edit that looks a lot better. I think you’re probably right.
