I keep referring to this juvenile Tarbosaurus paper (Tsuihiji et al. (2011)), but I really do think it makes for a good comparison with its American Tyrannosaurid cousin(s). And in this case, I believe most of the characters match well enough to ID this tooth as a juvenile Tyrannosaurid: chisel denticles, ziphodonty, gross morphology (CH, CBL, especially in some maxillary positions), and DSDI slightly > 1.
