I think it's the shell of a tiny
horseshoe crab. It caught my attention because of its size -- you see horseshoe crabs washed up fairly often, but they are as big as a diinner plate or bigger. I've never seen one this small. No animal in it, so maybe they molt their shells as they grow? I need to look it up...
Edit: I looked it up. Yep, they molt as they grow, so this is a molted shell.
