Hello, 

I found this today in a creek bottom in SE Montana. Any ID help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's part of the outer whorl of an ammonite or part of a heteromorph ammonite if they have them like that in Montana.:)

I think it is a heteromorph ammonite.

Nice find.

Compare with Hamites sp. but it's probably a different genus. These are sometimes called "paperclip" ammonite because of the parallel shanks.
