If it is in fact a Nanotyrannus or Dakotaraptor tooth then I would say it looks like Dakotaraptor, but lets wait for the experts.

It's a very typical Nanotyrannus tooth.  I've yet to see any Dakotaraptor tooth exceed 1 inch.  They also have no lingual twist on the mesial carina.  The difference in density is also typical of Nanotyrannus teeth and in a study I did with over 30 teeth a large percentage had a DSDI serration density of greater than 1.  Nice tooth
