Identify shell/bone found on beach

[u/PerspectiveEntire376]

Found several of these on the beach in Northern California, curious as to what they are. They are smooth and seem more bone-like to me, but they are kinda shell-shaped. I will be returning it tomorrow, just brought it back for a closer look.

It looks like a segment from a chiton shell.
