It seems to be a crocodile scute. Here's a confirmed crocodile scute, cretaceous.

All the croc scutes I have seen are flat on the back side.  Crocs also have simlar patterns on parts of the skull.  This may be a skull fragment.

Is it possible to exclude turtle bone?

The difference between soft-shelled turlte and croc texture is pretty subtle, but this is croc texture.
