That would be a very worn cetacean or whale bulla .... that you have there.

Whale earbone (bulla) is my suspicion.

I agree with whale ear-bone

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Where was this found. That could make a big difference in what it could and could not be. Your location is Austin, if found near there it could not be a whale bulla. The location or sediments a fossil is found in can make a big difference in it identification.
