Hi I have had this Hell Creek tooth that was previously ID as Dromaeosaur (possibly Dakota Raptor) for a while and the other day I decided to get my magnifying camera out to take a deeper look at the specimen as I have heard that some Dromaeosaur and small Nanotyranus teeth can be quite challenging to tell apart from one another. These are the close up pics of the specimen that I am still a little unsure about: Mesial side with serration showing a little carinae twist Distal side with straight carinae that stretches down to the base of the tooth in straight line: Cross-section looks a little rectangular with what seem like a small pinch on the sides? From the initial observation under the scope it does seem like this could be a Nanotyranus tooth instead of a Dromaeosaur but I would like to hear the experts thought and input on it just to be sure. Thanks in advance!

Along with the 3 pristine Hemis I found at Brownies Beach, I also found some interesting micro finds. I really like the 3 sand tiger teeth with the perfect sharp cusps on each side and they're REALLY sharp too. I also was able to score 2 nice Angelshark teeth (I love how they stand up on their root). I also found what I believe to be a tooth from the rostrum of a Sawfish? or perhaps some species of fish. I need help to ID the micro tooth, it has small serrations on either side and I have found one similar to this previously on another trip.
