This is a dinosaur tooth found at Ganzhou of China.  Any idea if it is a tooth of Tyrannosauripus?  The footprint of Tyrannosauripus has recently been found there.

Tyrannosauripus is an ichnogenus of footprint so it's not an actual genus of a dinosaur.  What is the formation you're in?  What is the size of the tooth?

It is said to be from the late Cretaceous.  The tooth is about 3.5x10cm.

Thank you that article was helpful.   Looks like a Tyrannosaurid tooth and Qianzhousaurus sinensis is a good candidate since its remains were found in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province.   Unfortunately no teeth were found with the holotype to compare against to confirm the ID.  Very rare tooth even in the condition its in.
