Troodontid?

Late Jurassic, Morrison Formation, Wyoming, USA

Excellent 2mm tooth. The serrates are proportionately so large this may be an early Troodontid. It resembles a described Early Cretaceous troodontid known from the Cedar Mountain Formation so one has to assume the ancestors of that species are in the underlying Morrison Formation. No matter what it is, it is an extremely fine small theropod tooth from the Late Jurassic!
