I obtained this tooth on a dig back in early June close to Jordan, Montana and was immediately told it was definitely a raptor tooth and was content with that. But more recently I’ve gotten curious and done some reading to try to figure out what exactly it was. From what I’ve read and seen online, it is pretty much a token Acheroraptor tooth with the very apparent ridges and larger serrations on one side while the other has small or none, but I wanted to double check with someone more familiar with the teeth to make sure. I’ll post any pictures requested, thanks! 
 

(also, please don’t tell me this tooth is fake or super restored because it is 100% not. I discovered and prepared this tooth myself and the only damage its had is a break that was glued back together near the root. It feels like this should be common sense after saying I found this myself in the post already, but I've already had people tell me I'm posting fake fossils [and arrowheads, but thats a different story])
