I thinking there's a few dozen created on the beach anytime Huckleberry takes a stroll

I think these are some of the things I found a lot of after the oil spill. Are they kind of like hollow, fragile straw type things? I found what I think is a flint rock the other day. Has a shape like an arrowhead but not highly worked as one. (so i was told) I love the interesting finds on the beach!
 
I think what your finding are worm castings or tubes. The fulgurites are created by lightening fusing the sand or dirt into something like glass...
