I found this in west Texas, in the Red Bed area.  I was wondering if it could be an amphibian skull fossil of some kind.  Maybe a trimerorhachis?  I'm still learning about the extinct amphibians and reptiles in my state.  Any suggestions are welcome!

Not a skull, unfortunately. 

This looks like it has some cross sectioned gastropods in it. 

Maybe limestone, with a bit of rudist or other sea fossils in it? 

Definitely not bone material, however.

Agree, not a skull.

Don't know much about history

Don't know much biology

Don't know much about science books.........
