What is this ID of dinosaur tooth ?

Cool tooth but no idea what you have,  the morphology does not look dinosaurian.   Looking at how thin the root wall is might be fish?  Hopefully others will chime in.  Hard to tell from photos do the serrations on the edges go to the tip or are they just in the lower half ?

Fish was my thought too. 

I wonder if @Al Dente or @MarcoSr or @Paleoc  might have some ideas on this.

Looks fishy to me too but I have never seen a tooth like it.

 

Thanks for looking. :)

I was going through some of my reference sources and came across this 1989 find from the Belly River Group of Alberta.  It's an undescribed serrated BIRD tooth Campanian in age.  There are some similarities to the tooth in question so I'll  post it for information.  I'm still leaning to fish but wanted to show it and who knows the Kem Kem is full of surprises and cannot exclude it.
