    It doesn’t look like a tusk or tooth to me, since it seems lack enamel and also seems to be porous.

    Is there such a thing as a hollow coprolite?

    Someone local said it might be petrified wood?

    The photo in cross section of this fossil is similar to a plant stem.  The circular objects around the edges of the hollow center resemble plant vascular bundles.

    Did you find out anything more on the fossil since you last posted ?
