A white structure with smooth surface on one side and gill like slits on the other. Also appeared to have a tail on one end. The barnacles were sticking to this one which was about the length of my hand. There were many others smaller in size, without barnacles.

Uff!
Sepia and cuttlefish fish are the same thing as far as I know. You had nailed it. :)
At least I was not completely out of the row with my skeleton (spine) and squid/sepia, since the cuttlefishes (which I never heard about) belongs also to Cephalopoda ;-)...
Thanks bayucca and ArgyBee. It's a cuttlefish spine indeed.
This is a cuttlefish spine
Looks like a skeleton of a squid or sepia.
I am talking about the structure they are sticking to.
Goose Barnacle
Lepas Anatifera
