There's a pen in the background of the second.  Looks about 3-4" long.

Agree with John. Probably some sort of bird.

 

Perhaps a Norwegian Blue Parrot that migrated to Maine.

 

Or the Japo-Scandinavian Flying Chupacabra.

Well if you guys can't help me, then no one can.

 

Maybe a zoologist. I'd guess Triceratops. Doesn't look like a T-Rex.

I am assuming the skull is very light weight, and if so like J and the others have stated it must be from a large bird. I have handled skulls from parrots and some raptors and they appear similar.

Bass food

I'd have to guess it's a young Pterodactyl or similar Pterosaur....

 

 

Tight lines, and keep one eye to the skies,

My brain is telling me it's a raptor species because of the large ocular cavities,  but what do I know :/

It's an Ebola...

Turn the skull and display it with the long, narrow, bone at the top.   I believe it may be the partial skull of a sturgeon or similar fish.

Pink Flamingo.

 

Definitely.

Ive googled every bird species that is native, to slightly native of Southern Maine and I guess maybe the skull is missing the beak, but all bird skulls show an elongated bone structure resembling a beak.
