Aguja Ankylosaur Tooth

Hello, hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share with you what I believe to be an ankylosaur or nodosaur tooth I found while hunting through my bag of Aguja fm matrix from western texas. The tooth is about 7 mm in length and has a bulge at the base which curves to become flattened as the crown continues. I hope I got this ID right as it would be my first Ankylosaurian tooth I've ever found.

Thanks its definitely not a Ankylosauridae but has some characteristics of a Nodosauridae.  So although not 100% certain I would lean that way since I'm  having a hard time seeing much else.

Thanks, I initially couldn't tell what it was when I found it. But after giving it a closer look I thought it looked familiar to some of the armored dinosaur teeth i've seen on here (the more worn down specimens). Unfortunately it's hard to get a good photo of it. Happy to have a nodosaur in my collection!
