Is this a snake head

[Angelman]

I have this in my possession over 25 years, I cannot remember where I got it, however I used to make hand crafts and used stones from the beach mainly Killiney Dublin Ireland. I went through a stage looking at stones with a magnifying glass telling people that the stones were fishes and lizards (I could see scales and claws and teeth on some of them) Everyone told me I was crazy so I stopped !!. This feels lighter than I would expect it to be if it was a stone and it absorbs and retains heat quicker that any other stone that I have, I collect stones from all around the world as I travelled. There seems to be Teeth or A tooth on the underside of it, if it is looked at as a snake head. I would appreciate any opinions

Yes, I can well understand you imagining that this is a snake head, since it does have roughly the shape of one. However it is not, but rather a weathered and water-worn cobblestone.

I agree. The colouring is likely on account of mineral staining, and the porous nature suggests some differential weathering. The lack of symmetry is also indicative that this is not a snake head, or a fossil of any sort.

There is no skull morphology, or structure, ... no bone texture, no real resemblance to a snake head or skull of any kind, really.

 

What you are experiencing is something we all experience, from time to time, called Pareidolia.

It is the thing in our brains that makes us see shapes in clouds, and recognize patterns/faces in all sort of materials.

The  vague resemblance to a snake head is enough to trigger your imagination into seeing/interpreting things that way.

Hope this helps.
