Hannah,
The purpose of species identification of the sea urchin spike which you have
I recommend The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology published by the
Geological Society of America (Part U. Echinodermata 3).
Unfortunately, I do not have pdf version.

Dear Hannah,
as Sheila said, definitely a sea urchin spine. I had thousands of them in
the material from Mogador, Morocco. I would not dare to tell the species
either. The ones from Morocco were from Paracentrotus lividus.
