This is in San Diego, USA. Not Mexico. The map is confused again :)

Spirula sp ? - but this is a small deep sea squid. I wonder if this could appear in such numbers.
They appear white - could be an internal shell or a bleached baby snail shell as suggested by CBK. I hope someone is able to help - would like to know.
