This isn´t a skull but a rock with lots of bits of invertebrate fossils.

I would suggest looking at some stratigraphical or geological maps of your area to learn what kind of fossils can be found in your area.  If you can give us a general area (county or city and state), we can help you find a map.

Agreed. I see a bryozoan and a brachiopod.

I spotted those too. Definitely a piece of limestone from a marine formation with those fossils. No evidence of a skull at all.

 

Shape along (imagined or real) does not make a rock a fossil. People who are new to fossil hunting are often curious about rocks that they can imagine to be something familiar. Most often this is simply our brain's pareidolia response allowing us to think we see something that is not actually there. This is one of those cases.
