Unknown fossils from Cuba

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys! Hopefully someone can help.

I found what I assume to be fossils of SOMETHING while snorkeling in Cuba this summer . I’ve asked around and nobody seems to be able to identify them.  The curiosity is killing me lol they look almost like teeth or beak parts but I really have no clue

Interesting stuff, although I don't think these are fossils. To me these look quite similar to segments of chiton shell. Chitons are these unusual segmented molluscs you may have seen them attached to rocks there

 

Here's what a live one looks like:

It looks like a picture I was able to find online of chiton segments:
