Dromaeosaurid tooth from Uzbekistan?

Hey guys,

I saw this tooth from Uzbekistan labeled as undescribed and as a possible Dromaeosaurid.

Is it? Does someone have an idea? Maybe @Troodon can help on this one.

It is 3,2cm.

Here are some pictures. 
Thanks and kind regards!

Serrations are needed for this type of assessment and they seem quite worn to make a definitive call. Dromaeosaur teeth from Uzbekistan are not quite as distinct.

Its unequivocally not a Dromaeosaurid, too large, not recurved or compressed enough to be one.  Might be from one of the enigmatic dino like Paronychodon asiaticus but it size just suggest it's just might be a Timurlengia or some other indeterminate theropod

Thank you both for your imputs! Can you tell If it is indeed from timurlengia or if it is for sure not?
Thanks!

This wouldn’t work, it’s hard to see the serrations in this photo.
