Lizard / Bird head/skull?

[pambosk]

Cyprus, some 10 km north of Amathus ancient city

I am really  not equipped yet with knowledge, therefore I will not be posting many photos of each thing, unless one expert finds it promising. This one is 3 keyboard buttons long.  on the other side which is somewhat similar theres a thin layer of an orange/red mineral, probably calcite, if that means anything.

I'm afraid it is not a cranium(scientific term for "skull") of any kind.

BUT, fear not : with your zealous enthousiasm sooner or later you will find a true fossil

probably sooner than later

Suggestively shaped rock. 

I see no bone texture, no skull morphology. 

Keep looking.

Shapes as you are learning only suggest a fossil but it's bone that tell us it's a fossil.  Skulls are made of many thin bone elements that help form the eye orbits,  maxilla and nose and they should be visible.  Visit museums to see what fossil bones look like.  Good luck keep searching.

You could try to join a paleontology club to learn where to find fossils and how to recognize them.

Judging by the geologic map of that area near Amathus, there are a lot of marls, chalks, and some chert. It straddles in age between the Palaeogene and Neogene, the Pakhna and Lefkara Formations, respectively. If you head a bit more north, there are some pockets of Moni Formation sandstones and siltstones from the Cretaceous. Keep looking

Might be originally hydrothermally mineralized ,think Troodos ophiolite.

That's what I sort of had in mind I think.. see few months ago, I saw online a snake's head, which was a combo of a red crystal and this chalk-like harder though material. Since then i picked a few of those.  

[pambosk]

like this one.. which is more like that red head of a snake

 

 

HOWEVER, noted, the 1st rock, is a rock And thank you all again for all the replies and help!
