Hi I bought this tooth assuming it is Acheoraptor however is it possible it is a small dakota raptor tooth? 
 

Size is 1.4 cm long.

Without measurements and better photos difficult to say what it is even if its a Dromaeosaurid.   Might be indeterminate but if you want to try need the following:

 

I need sharp straight in photos of both sides, base, closeup of the distal serrations and an photo of the mesial carina.  No obtuse angles.

And the following measurements

Thanks for the info.

 

You said you were going to supply additional photos of mesial.  Has that been done?  I do need a count on that mesial side.

 

On the photo of the mesial carina need one showing the tip to the base.  Want to see the travel along the edge and how far it extends to the base.

 

Need width of base. CBW.

I can already tell you its not Dakotaraptor  the base and denticle shape is wrong.

Thank you I am having trouble getting a good photo the last three photos I attached include the Mesial. Let me see if I can get a photo of the entire mesial side top to bottom

I thought it was just light shine from my scope but looking closer I think there are small ridges there. Here are more pictures of the Mesial side the order of the photos should be lowest point on tooth to highest S20221219_0038.thumb.jpg.cb0c0d7c27584caef570a9ab157b4cc9.jpgS20221219_0037.thumb.jpg.8da043678372d56e1feb78587f345f85.jpgS20221219_0036.thumb.jpg.f0bb46172ac3869287b70e9dbfe2567b.jpgpoint on tooth

We are trying to determine how many denticles there are per mm.  So I need a quantity not a range and over how many mm.  I cannot figure out your photo's there is no mm scale

Each square is 5mmx5mm I'll get a better shot

I understand that but there are no mm gradients to determine how many there are per mm.  Can you just measure it and give me a number per mm
