Shale ID?

[jort68]

Hey all! I got out today to hang out on the beach and ended up searching a shale scree not far from where I parked in santa barbara, CA.

This looked like it had fossiliferous potential so I grabbed it along with a good amount of nice malachite. A tube-like shape with white crystal-like openings which measures about an inch in this piece of shale. Curious to se what you think and thanks as always!

Small section of planolite I would say. A trace fossil.

Yes, I agree, probably Planolites if it is an unlined burrow, as appears in photo.
