Need help identifying this fossil

Would love some help identifying this fossil as I have been unsuccessful. I know that it is from an animal of some sort, most likely marine, and from California. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Chiton segment. Likely modern, and not a fossil.

 

See this post, from yesterday.

Out of curiosity I would like to know its size, which seems important enough for this kind of animal. But there’s no doubt it’s a chiton plate.
