I think it's a whelk egg case.

Google Images seems to agree

This is a skate: https://www.businessinsider.com/black-skate-eggs-beach-smartphone-light-2017-6

Don't believe it's a skate egg case.
But I've seen them before a long time ago....

Worms are not vertebrates.

Looks man made to me, even though that makes no sense.

Rays bear lie young, skates lay eggs (in single cases)

Looks like a snake’s skeleton but it’s too perfect for that.

Linda is correct (as usual). I have one in my collection from the NC coast, but didn’t know what it was. Here’s an image (along with other things) and an image of a sea worm (bristleworm).
