Is this animal scat? If so, what is it? I put a Dandelion next to it for scale. In southwest Michigan area.

I thought it was a twig at first. It seems super dry. I didn't touch it. My husband used gloves then threw them away. My kid ran to us and stepped on it. It didn't break apart though. Put soap on their feet because they were barefoot and had them wash in the sprinkler that was running.

P.s. I struggle with health OCD & Anxiety, hence all the extra information.
