I was told it was found some decades ago in a river bed in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I tried image searching it but couldn't quite find an equal one.

Also looks wrong for the location. Does anyone know which animal could it have been?

I think it's a fish.

To check, we count the number of bones in the skull. One in the bottom, one in the top, lots of teeth, but not enough to be a fish.
