Strange plant at Montaña de Oro

I found a strange ocean plant at Montaña de Oro. Can you help identify it?

This was in an ocean-side canyon and was somewhat squishy.

Here's a back shot. And a second front and back.

Best answer: Looks to me like the long dead, bleached carcass of a giant chiton.
Animal, not plant.
