A curious piece. I don't know if this would be tusk... One generally sees more crack texture in the dentine, and a slightly thicker transition ring. If it is a tusk, it is missing its cementum. Perhaps compare with this cross-section:

Looks like a rock with both ends fractured off.

Sorry Allen, I have to agree - not a tusk, ...as I see no evidence of Shreger lines.    

[Allenz]

Depends on how it was petrified here is pitcher of tusk can't see no lines in it

[Fossildude19]

Actually, they are quite visible.

Looks more geologic to me. I agree with others.

Sorry mate, there is no clear evidence of it being a tusk or a fossil

I am so disappointed that people close their minds and jump on what ever splashy simplistic bandwagon is in vogue but if you start with the rocks and work upward to an interpretation it often reveals a reality that is not the one in vogue. "Paul Knauth"
