It was skinny and elongated. I can’t get a picture because it got run over by a lawnmower after i tossed it somewhere 😭

If it’s in Michigan, then I’m going to guess one of the Pinus genus.  Likely Eastern White Pine due to their prevalence.  However it is too young to tell for sure. Could also be another type of pine, juniper, tamarack, spruce, or fir.

If you see another cone that looks like the one you got the seed from post a pic! Eastern White pine has long slender fairly soft cones, which are easily distinguished from the others.

Good Luck with growing it up!

Keep us posted!

Nice!  Yes, that is Eastern White Pine, Pinus strobus.  A beautiful eastern pine with soft needles and a beautiful form!

Here are some from my hometown in Massachusetts. They stand out most when the leaves of deciduous plants have all dropped.

Looks like a spruce cone. Possibly from Norway spruce (Picea abies ).

I agree, the more I look at it, seems like it could be Norway Spruce. The scales seem too smooth for White Pine. 
 

But isn't that just a young cone?
