Loosely identifying a part of the skull

[witchunter]

Hello,

 

I am new to this community and fossils/bone identification in general.

Hope you can help me with identifying a part of the skull I recently found (or at least I think it is a part of the skull).

 

I found the bone recently (May 2022) close to a beach in Malmö, Sweden while cleaning up the beach with my colleagues.

I would like to make a nice display stand for it, and I'd like to have something other than "Unknown Species" on a tag.

 

I suspect what I see here are the eyeholes and the nose on a skull bone. First I thought it was a bird of some kind, or some other reptile. But looking at skull pictures online, I cannot recognize anything. Maybe a fish, since it was found close to the beach?

 

I suspect it's impossible to find out the exact species, but at least the genus or the family would be nice.

 

Cheers,

Nikola

That's actually a synsacrum from a bird.

It's quite big, so maybe a seagull? Only a guess.

Researching synsacrum a bit more, my bone certainly looks like a part of it.

Not as flashy as a skull, but still worth the stand and display, I think.

Thank you both, that was very quick.
