Answers.Text: In a comment on the question, you suggested "1x2 plate with 3 teeth", as that would give 12 "teeth" on 8 studs, and there are 13-14 "triangles" on the picture that would come closer.

Comments.Text: This really depends on the scale you're going for. At least roughly how wide is that section/tower going to be in the final model? A few studs? An entire 32-footprint? Anything in between? It largely depends on how detailed the whole rest of the building is.

  Another question in my SLC temple series:
  How can I replicate the downward facing triangles in the stonework of some of the spire/columns. Currently I'm planning on just using cheese slopes but those are kind of square. I could maybe use [quarter tiles](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=25269&name=Tile,%20Round%201%20x%201%20Quarter&category=%5BTile,%20Round%5D#T=C&C=86) but they're not quite the same either.

  Judging by a [previous question by @username_0](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/17520/salt-lake-city-temple-side-tower-windows), I'll assume that the build is mainly in light bluish gray ("bley") colour, and the distance between the columns of a tower (the length of the downward triangle strips) is 8 studs.
  
  I'll suggest using [1x1 plate with tooth](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=49668&colorID=86) for the triangles (with some SNOT supports and tiles for the battlements), plus [slope 75° 2x2x3](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3685&colorID=86) for the pyramid endings.
