Majority of pictures aren't showing as of this post.  You should also include locality.  That's the most important bit other than pictures.

Hello, Sorry, I forgot about that here's the locality: 

Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County, Montana.

Thanks. County checks out.  If you can get the rest of the pics to show (I don't think avif is compatible with forum), I'm sure there will be some good feedback. Especially need to see the base.

Heres the photos, sorry the image was included in files i dont know why

[ruminate]

Also heres a quick video from the seller i got, also thanks a lot frank for reminding me!

I can't really tell to be honest.  You may need a picture straight in on the base as the movement (and all the fingers) in the video makes it tough for me personally to see.  Seems to show only one side clearly.  The other side (in the first second of the video) looks like it may have a pinch though that could be damage instead.  What people will be looking for is to see if there is a pinch towards the base that is typical for the majority of nano teeth. I don't see a pinch on the side that that video shows though but pictures tend to represent better than videos. Did they give you a size?  Could potentially be rex.

Hello, the size is 1-3/4 inch (straightline)

Il try to ask for more photos, thanks

[FB003]

Just ask for a straight in of the base. He'll know what you are looking for.

Hello,an update heres the photo of the base and the serrations

[hadrosauridae]

I would not call that a Nano tooth.  Assuming it is from the Hell creek, that would be more likely to be rex.

Oh well than thats a good news, thanks.

[FB003]

I'm in the middle on this one.  Looks to be a pretty good pinch going up the one side. Possibly on both but the break makes the one side look flat.  Sorry I can't help more.

 

Edit: I'm in the nano camp.  If the broken piece was added back in it looks like it'd be a prominent pinch on both sides.  Size is also in range of nano.

It's a Nanotyrannus tooth. If the base root section wasn't damaged, it would have a figure-of-8 shape

Thanks for the info! Learned a lot today

Oh yea found this other tooth, being sold as nanno its found in hell creek,montana

Is this really from nanno? The round base tells me something like a rex and i think the unstraight serrations is what makes it a tyrannosaurid tooth, please correct me if i got anything wrong still studying hehe

[FB003]

Unless you have county, it can only technically be tyrannosaurid.  County is the most important thing in identification especially in states with multiple formations.

 

It does not look to be nano to me though I am unsure if positioning of the tooth can eliminate the pinch or not.  I though I saw that mentioned somewhere if I can find it again.

I consider this a Rex, if it indeed is found in the Hell Creek Formation

[FB003]

I agree with Andy.   County checks out.

thanks everyone for helping!!

[ruminate]

Oh yea im wondering, could the serrations be shaped like this because of a phatalogical reasons? Or do you guys think its just worn off.
