Dromaeosaurus? Judith River

[JoeS]

Hi all, I recently acquired this tooth labeled as Tyrannosaurid indet. It is 0.5 inch (1,27cm) in length and was found in the Judith River Fm, Wheatstone Co., Montana.
The a-typical placement of the mesial carina led me to purchase it thinking it could be a Dromaeosaurus albertensis premaxillary tooth. Serration count over 5mm is 16 mesial and 15 distal.
What do you guys think?

Beautiful tooth and great photos a perfect example of how to present a tooth for identification.  I think you are on to something but I would like one more photo to complete the picture and that is a photo of the base.  That can help determine the jaw placement.

Thank you, try to make it easy on everyone.
Here an image of the base, it's pretty rounded:

A perfect match, excellent sleuthing.

 

Here is the first left premaxillary tooth of the holotype of Dromaeosaurus. Yours would be on the right side.

Thank you so very much for your time and help. It indeed does match very well, just needed an expert to take a look.
The tooth will get a special place in my collection
