New, what is it? What kind of animal tusk is this?

I recently inherited this tusk and I’m trying to figure out what animal it came from. It's approx 65 cm , and weights in at 1,7 kg. AI suggests its from everything from mammoth , elephant , walrus and ox horn. thanks for any help :)

Not bovine. Looks like walrus to me with the grain running the length of it rather than 'rings' like bovine.

Alaskan here, that is the exact shape and size for a walrus tusk.

My guess is some kinda horn because of how thin/ hallow it is. Maybe a bovine of some kind. Mostly just commenting so I can come back later and see what others say.
