Fossilized and crystalized animal head?

[Tomas1]

Hey everyone!

What do you think of this thing?

Can not work out if this is just nature really good play or it is something better....

Please help!!✌️

Sorry, I can't explain just how the shape came about, but it's not a crystal skull.

Not saying it's crystal skull but animal bones can over time change to mineral like stone?

It's a little bit mind playing 😅

Bones can be replaced by minerals, but it usually still looks like a bone or skull.

In this instance, all I see is a crystal formation of some sort, that vaguely looks a bit like a cartoon dino head, ... if I squint and look at it sideways.

Sorry, I agree - not seeing any bone or a skull.

One can imagine a would-be skull fossil ending up looking this way. The problem is that without the unique features seen in the individual bones there would be virtually no way to prove it. An almost unlimited number of other explanations would be equally valid.

"Fossil mummies" do exist, but they're rare and you would still expect to see I think clear skin marks, muscle fibers, etc depending on the fossilization process.
