I was walking down the beach and encountered hundreds of wide funnel shaped objects, that almost looked like wide bowls with the bottoms cut off. These objects could be torn appart easily and appeared to be made out of sand. The texture was that of a soft rubber, it was very flexible and had a soft exterior, and could be torn apart and crumbled back into sand with a bit of work. The end that i am assuming was the top was approximatly 6-7 inches across, and the end that i am assuming was the bottom was 3-4 inches across They did not appear to be man made. This is not the first time, nor the first beach that I have found these at, so they are not specific to this one location. Although, all beaches that they have been found at have been along the more northern coast of the Pacific (USA, i.e Washington, and Oregon)
