Saurornithelestes, Troodon?

Hello and thank you for checking this out.

I got this tooth a while back. It comes from the Judith River Formation and is about 8mm apical length. The serrations seem large to the tune of Troodon, but they're too worn to be certain that they point apically throughout the posterior carina. (It was sold as Pectinodon, but I'm not seeing that.) What do you think it is?

 

Thanks!

It does not look like a Troodontid tooth a Saurornitholestinae is very possible.    We need to verify it's a Dromaeosaurid and that the locality found supports the JRF.    So can you do a serrations count and let me know where it was found.
