Some important identifiers are obscured, but the eye socket looks most like a squirrel to me.

I kept a collection of just such items found in the wild, when I was a kid. In cigar boxes, no less.

What a strange little girl I must have been!

I'm sure if the mandible and teeth were visible, you would have identified it as a raccoon immediately. But I didn't give any size or context clues. (see above comment for more info)
