Had some help with the ID on these.  Apparently they are fossilized Ghost Shrimp burrows.  Probably Eocene period based on the Matilija Formation Sandston but possibly Miocene.  Also some Turritella shells too.  Specifically in the Rattlesnake Canyon tributary of Matilija Canyon in the Los Padres Mountains of Southern California.
