Hi y'all, found this partial tooth in micromatrix from the Triassic-aged Bull Canyon formation. Serration density looks to be 9-10 / mm on the dc. Could it be dinosaurian?

For what it's worth, I've seen teeth like this from the Bull Canyon commercially sold as Coelophysis. Also, the teeth look like theropod teeth to me, but don't really have experience to base this one. May be @Troodon has something to add.

It does have affinities to a theropod tooth but so much is unknown.

One publication, sorry info not at hand,  says the following:Screenshot_20220114-055232_Drive.thumb.jpg.9a245db86314a406954cc1661371fc08.jpg

Interesting article! I think I'll save it for a read when I've got some more time, as I've seen very similar material come out of the French Lorraine as well...! :default_clap2:
