Nanotyrannus tooth?

Does this tooth check out as Rex or Nano? The seller identifies it as Nano, but the tooth looks thick like Rex teeth. I need help with IDs between Rex and Nano because their teeth are so similar. Its 1.5 inches long, found from Hell creek. Help would be appreciated :D

The curve and serrations look like nano to me. The tip also doesn’t seem to be as robust as a Rex tooth. I’d say it’s highly likely to be a nano tooth.

I would agree, either a Nano or very small Rex, depending on if you consider Nano valid.
The tooth as a whole is narrow with a very pronounced curvature and looks to have broken near where the root would be making it rather small overall in size.
