Dinosaur skull?

[AnttiP]

My parents found this small fossil in 1970s when t hey were in France. It looks like a dinosaur skull but i'm not sure what it is.

Welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is a fossil at all. 

It looks like an oddly shaped stone - I see no bone texture to the item. 

Wait for some more opinions, though.

Cool looking rock does look like a face.  Skulls are not typically solid but made up of bone elements and you  see the sutures that tie them together. No bone present

Sorry, but no, this is not any type of skull. I don't see any bone here. One side has a vague resemblance to a reptile skull, but the other side shows no such features. This piece also seems to lack any details we'd expect from a real skull. As Troodon said, there would need to be sutures between the individual bones of a skull, as they are not made up of a single solid piece. I'm thinking those holes are there just because of erosion. Notice how the whole piece is rounded off? It looks like it's been worn by time and environment, possibly by water.

 

So yeah, it's not a fossil or skull. But it is an interesting looking rock.

It's a suggestively shaped rock with vugs having crystal druse .

Fun rock - worth picking up and keeping even if it isn't a fossil
