Need help with identifying what this is, or more what it could have belonged to.

This is from Morocco, phosphate mine eocene in age containing marine deposits.

 

I have done the good old tongue test and it sticks, suggesting fossilised bone/cartlidge. But the scale/skin texture is really throwing me (i dont think it is a skute it just doesnt have the correct surface?) . Any help would be appreciated

 

Many Thanks,

Ben

possibly a fragment of sand dollar test judging from the texture and cross-section.

Isn't it a little to thick for a sand dollar? Or is that about the right thickness
