Hello!

I Found this recently in Glendive, Montana, in the Hell Creek Formation.  I was told if could possibly be a small rex tooth or a raptor. Its pretty chunky for how little it is.

 

Thank you for any help with identification!

Hi @mikeyesenko13welcome to the forum. Scale and direct photos are really important to aid in identification. There's a nice post tagged on the top for tips for identifying teeth. That said it seems thicker than I would expect a raptor to be.

So far, I am thinking maybe a juvenile tyrannosaurid tooth (probably nano, the denticles don't remind me of rex denticles as much.) but would need size to be sure.
