Is it a Nanotyrannus tooth?

Recommended Posts

I have a nanotyrannus tooth( 2 1/8" inches )from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. But now I have doubts about its authenticity ,Because I saw a fossilID topic that ultimately thought it was Dakotaraptor,I think mine is a bit similar,So is it a Dakotaraptor tooth or a Nanotyrannus tooth? Thanks!20220704_014256.thumb.jpg.369566bce892a45872dac124a3a5292c.jpg20220704_014328.thumb.jpg.6d777677e2f6736aa3b52279f4c1bea0.jpgmmexport1656872463738.thumb.jpg.93aded013a97d8d31216a2aff104328a.jpg20220704_014455.thumb.jpg.0baf25692adf45a291baa39a285c8829.jpg20220704_014349.thumb.jpg.56e129e6d2b998df73e91f9d31a8b939.jpg20220704_014435.thumb.jpg.3a6d4ea77875c9b075595fb5b4329ee5.jpg20220704_014549.thumb.jpg.1be0128f0965921287c8126c791391ec.jpg594979511_Screenshot_20220704-015840_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.74fd97ea6d2990cbed7f356cbb8b1175.jpg

Its a Nanotyrannus tooth. Has all of the features of one in the base and size.    Dromaeosaurid teeth never get that large.  Nice tooth.

If you look at the base you see how it pinches inward from both sides, that's how you know it's a Nano.

If you look at the base of the tooth in that thread it only pinches on one side which is why it wasn't an automatic Nano.
