It's morning and the lighting is better.... I seem to see multiple short parallel dark lines on the surface: if those are real and not artefacts of photography, dirt etc, they look like typical periosteal capillaries. Those are absent on the tusks.

I tend to agree; these pics seem to confirm the fact this it is bone, but once again, what's the big deal!...it's still a fine, gorgeous piece.
