Fat, check out the end (base end, not pointy distal end) of the fossil, look for Schreger pattern (a cross hatch pattern). If you see that cross hatch then it is a tusk. I have several pieces and will try and post what I am talking about.

Ok, I am at work at the moment and I just wanted to post a photo of what I am talking about but I want ot make it clear this is NOT my photo. Only used to show Schreger Lines.

Thanks for the help. I will get better pics. I’m thinking it’s a horn core from the Latifrons.
