The piece looks like a Titanotheres leg in my collection. The matrix in the core is more than likely stream bed gravel that filled in a space that experienced necrosis (rotting) before the fossilization process began.

I appreciate your input, Oddball! That's pretty darn cool, if it is from a Titanotheres that makes it 20 or 30 million years old!
The funniest thing about the find was the looks on the locals' faces when I asked for "un martillo para sacar un hueso de la cueva" (a hammer to remove a bone from the cave).
