Due to a lack of skeletal remains, identifying the exact species of dinosaur these teeth came from is only speculative. Currently these teeth have all been labeled as RAPTOR teeth. However, there are a couple of theropod dinosaurs that these teeth came from. The two most likely suspects are Abelusaurids and Dromeosaurs. But there are certainly others.
At the same time these small teeth look comparable, there are very subtle differences. For instance, some teeth have very fine serrations while others are course. Not only are the serrations different but the shape of the tooth is as well. In particular the posterior edge of the Abelisaurid teeth are straight in the same way raptors are not
As a result we are identifying these teeth only as RAPTOR
