That may be due to lots of mineral filler.

The developing smoke should have some kind of plastic smell though (vs. the smell at a dentist when drilling a tooth)...

hello,

first of all, the tusk should be hollow at that point (base!).
And the little holes give it away, as a resin copy.
They are due to air bubbles. Something you get if you do not pay attention on the job...
So in fact it is; a sloppy made copy...
