I found two, in my spotting too...But that's because these squids are abundant, and depending on the sea currents, they reach beaches in large numbers, although only a couple each time, is been spotted...But if you go to Canary islands, you 'll find more than just two in a whole beach :)
Sorry I have to correct this. I did not find it, someone else did. (I guess I would like to think that I did :-) ) so no credit for me here. I just took the picture. Did I loose my credibility?
YEAH Thank you all!!! Checked out your suggestions Despina and Martinl and that's what it is. Seems common, weird that I have not found one before (I am always looking)
This is from a rams horn squid.
It is a chambered shell and used as a buoyancy device, as in the chambered nautilus.
