Following out of curiosity. Looks squidish to me but that's just a guess

Is it plastic or some sort of creature? it's difficult to tell

An animal skull?

Is it the middle hit of a cuttlefish/ squid type thing?

I think so

I think it's a skate/ray skeleton, or something similar along those lines. It's technically made of cartilage rather than bone but I grew up by the seaside and we used to see them quite a bit!

Doesn't look like a cuttlefish skeleton from what I've seen on Google

Yep. Part of the cartilaginous skeleton from a ray. Head area.

A Google image search suggests it is the skeleton of a skate
