Yup. Looks like a (big) parrot's beak. We had a fascinating discussion here some months ago having to do with Humboldt squids.

And a tongue lined with spikes called a radula. Fascinating creatures. Giant squid have a rivalry with the sperm whale that is as acrimonious as Michigan-Ohio State, Yale-Harvard, and Yankees-Red Sox.
