Help w/ tyrannosaur tooth

The base is giving me some trouble with this.  Wanted to know if I can get some help on ID, rex or nanotyrannus? Lance Creek Formation, Wyoming.

The base is quite oval which, I think, rules out Nanotyrannus. Looks like a juvenile rex.

If that’s the case then it’s an awesome addition to my collection, thank you

I was gonna say T. rex as well. It doesn't have the same pinch in the middle you'd expect from Nanotyrannus.

Yup, base is too wide for a Nano and as LordTrilobite says it doesn't have that pinch at the base, so I'd say rex.  The serrations look nice and chunky too.
