I still have a ton of fossils in my collection and alot of unidentified teeth that im going to try and post on here more often.....ill be posting 2 tonight with the first being this tooth here : 

 

Its from the Hell Creek Formation, Tooth Draw Quarry , NE Butte County, South Dakota.

 

Its CH is 13 mm

The CBL is 8.5 mm

Distal serration count is 3 / mm

Mesial serration count is 4 / mm

Base has an oval shape to it. 

 

Ill post a bunch of pics since some are better than others...anyway let me know what you all think !

I need to see a straight in shot of the mesial carina without fingers which really make identification of your teeth difficult.  I suggested before to use putty to hold your teeth not fingers.

I also see 4/mm on the distal edge not 3

Looks just like the Dromaeosaur tooth I have from TD, but again, whoever your getting these from should already have a positive ID with it.

Still need that photo but getting more comfortable that this is a Tyrannosaurid tooth. Overall shape and the Denticles, the three to the right are chisel shaped.  Cannot be Dromaeosaurid since the serration density of both carinae is the same

this tooth was catalogued and came with an ID however as @Troodon has stated the serration count on both sides is similar so id like to get everyones opinions.

Agree if those serrations are identical cannot be a Dromaeosaurid.  My vote is juvie Trex based on the shape of the denticles and the cross-section of base
