Found red egg cluster, dehydrated on beach. Any guesses?

[knifegill]

They look exactly like a clump of red blood cells, and are hard as a rock, seemingly glued together. About two millimeters across, blood red and collapsed into half-spheres. I'm going to rehydrate them in artificial sea-salt mix and see if anything comes of it. Do any beach critters dehydrate their eggs? I'm guessing these are dead eggs, but hey, why not, right?

They aren't crab eggs, too big.
They could be snail eggs, but I don't even know where to start guessing what species. Pic here soon.

could be so many things that there is hardly a point in speculating, and id be astounded if anything comes out, as chances are its a speacies that setts their egg clusters free into the water, and a wave carried them onto the beach. So there is a like 99.99% chance they are dead.
