🔎 UNIDENTIFIED A thooth?

I bought this for $5 at a yardsale, but I don't know what it actually is. I think it's a tooth, but it could be a horn. Can anybody confirm? I'd really like to know what animal it's from as well. It's about 6" long, so whatever it is from must have been pretty big.

Maybe Walrus tusk?

I agree with Back-of-the-Boat. Walrus tusk. I found plenty of images, searched cross section of walrus tusk.

Walrus tusks have a curve. Does your object have a curve to it? I can not tell from picture.

It does not have a curve, but I think walrus tusks may be straight when they are smaller

You may be right. Would make sense.

I found a decent picture of a walrus tusk, sounds like you guys may be right.

Alternatively, it could be the end of a narwhal's tooth. That would explain why it is so straight
