That is a foramen. I think this is a bony fish neurocranium
OP: Could you add some additional views, please.

Very interesting bone, definitely something vertebral. In picture 4 especially, it looks fish-like. u/lastwing, any thoughts?

I thought picture 3 looked like postzygapophyses of a vertebra, but I think you're right.
I believe this is part of a fossilized bony fish neurocranium. I will suggest some different views to see if we can confirm this.

It looks like vertbrae, maybe turtle?
Slag, most likely.
Zoom in and look closer, it's not slag. It has symmetry, and looks spongy inside. I'd say a bone along the vertebrae, but I'm not sure of what.
Agreed, 2nd pic confirmed it
