What is this?

I found this hunting in eastern Montana last week, i thought it was scat of some sort at first but its fossilzed. Its a little over an inch in diameter

Amber?

I agree it looks like Amber/tree sap to me

Either a Yeti turd or dried out pine sap

I think it’s a type of rock sometimes known as bubble agate/chalcedony. (Internet, don’t flame me too hard, I’m not a bona fide rock hound and not trying to be.) I’ve picked up pieces on a much smaller scale.
A cool find!

Pine sap is my guess.

Could be Pinon (Pinyon) pine pitch .

Petrified Native American apple fritter.

is it smooth all around? Is there a part that looks like it broke off of something? Can you scratch it (on a part that will be hidden in case it turns out to be something cooler than just tree sap).

If you can scratch it and it smells like tree sap....well it's probably tree sap. If not my uneducated vote is chalcedony

looks like conifer pitch to me

 

[Kramer588]

The underneath looks like rock and the top orange part is rock hard, can’t be scratched

If it’s rock, looks like bubble agate/chalcedony. I’ll try to take some photos of similar ones I’ve picked up.

Conifer/Pine Pitch. Great firestarter.

If you're real curious...and bored...run a test for specific gravity and that will tell you if it's pine sap or agate.

Eastern MT has some wierd rock forms..I found this too. I looked all over the web and couldn't identify it.

I'm no rock hound, but I believe the rock above is melted Scotia. Did you find it near some orange rock that looks and sounds like broken pottery. I believe those are melted by coal seam fires.
