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?

Looks a bit like a seal skull to me.

Edit: maybe a South American sea lion

Yes I think you might be right, it does look a lot like a sea lion. Especially because of the two sets of fangs. Thank you.
