Dear David,
Not the best photo because majority of the object (spicules) is out of
focus but it looks like a hexactine spicule (Hexactinellida). If such,
than it muts be marine, I would even say not mariginal marine but rather
open marine (hexactinellids in most cases are deep water creatures and
rarely occur in shallow water.
best regards
Andrzej Pisera
