I’m not sure what I have here, my best guess is a portion of tusk or rib. As always, I appreciate everyone’s knowledge and help! I’ve created a light box and started adjusting the exposure to help with quality photos. Thanks

I don't see any evidence of Schreger lines, so I'd say rib on this one.

also the broken surface shows internal bone structure.  Bone,  not tusk.

I wasn’t sure because there’s only a small section of internal bone, the remainder is solid, and it is heavy for its size. It’s wider on one end versus the opposite.
