Nice strange piece of bone to I.D

[Crann]

Found this today on Yorkshire coast, (wet in the photos) it's the pattern on the one side that intrigues me, any ideas ?

With a pattern like that, it looks like it could be part of a croc skull.

Mr partner thought was croc, she's knowledgeable like that... pretty cool find then, thanks.

It does look crocodilian.  Consider it being a bone from the thick mid-line of the skull, something like a prefrontal.

Are we thinking Steneosaurus ?

Few more photo's dried out and with some removal of matrix.

For reference, a partial Steneosaurus skull.
