My son found a fossil and he would love to find more information about what it could be, thank you in advance!

This is the skull plate of a bony fish called a sea robin. These are relatively common finds on the east coast, congrats to your son on a cool fossil discovery!

This looks like the top of a fish skull.  Possibly sea robin

That’s a nice specimen. I picked up a few myself this past week. Interestingly, modern ones also wash up on shore. I picked one up the other day that broke in my hand. They haven’t changed much through the millennia!
