What area of the world are we talking about?

Looks marine for sure, but the whereabouts will make it easier.

No dogfish i've ever seen though.

no at first i was thinking dogfaced puffer, but even after drying i didnt think it would angle that sharply so i removed it

too wide to be a leatherjacket fish?

I have a few at home, dried. My grand dad gave them to me, he said he got them in Singapur. they are about 3cm big and have super tiny teeth.

from singapor eh, could very likely be a species of pufferfish then.

I looked at cowfish... can it be one of them???

Yes, it is a cowfish of some kind; a thornback cowfish I think.
