Is this a Lambeosaurus tooth ?

I'm not sure what the exact differences are between Hadrosaur teeth, but this piece looks pretty worn. And there are a number of both Lambeosaurine and Saurolophine Hadrosaurs present in the Judith River formation. Among these are Gryposaurus, Lambeosaurus and Corythosaurus.

As Lord T suggested, I don't think the hadrosaurs of the Judith River can be identified by teeth alone.  I would call hadrosaur tooth and be happy.

In my opinion what you have is not a hadrosaur tooth but a ceratopsian shed tooth a "spitter"  .  The granular surface at the base of the tooth what I call "beard" is typical of ceratopsian as well as the strong/wide center ridge.  ID beyond ceratopsian is not possible. @lone5wolf117
