Montana Ringing Rocks

Let me start by saying that I misspoke at the beginning of the video, the Ringing Rocks location is actually on BLM land and not part of the Deerlodge National Forest, but it is right on the line. Although the rocks are from different geologic settings, the Montana ringing rocks share significant characteristics with the Pennsylvania diabase ringing rocks. These characteristics include being composed of igneous mafic rock types with high percentages of olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts, having the individual boulders isolated from severe weathering by the formation of well-drained boulder fields, and having similar sounds and surface weathering. The iron content of the olivine pyroxene monzonite (as ferrous oxide) is 7% of the whole rock. Despite the broad public interest in the ringing ability of the ringing rocks, there has not been any actual scientific studies to identify the source of the phenomenon. This location was quite busy on one of the last nice weekends of the year, but still, there is plenty of dispersed camping in the area.
