Hi, I feel this is a silly question to ask, since I should know by now how to identify Pliosaur teeth, and I am mostly certain this in indeed a Pliosaur tooth but anytime I am going to spend plenty of money on a fossil, I feel like I should just spend a minute making a thread on this forum just to confirm. The tooth is 4cm in length & comes from the Akrabou Formation in Morocco (a little bit of restoration on one side which the seller has made clear about). Thank you!

Brachauchenius lucasi finds are more based in Kansas, but examples in Eagle Ford Texas have been found, most notably Willison's 1907 second B. lucasi skull which has been found in the same area. There is a possibility that this tooth could actually be Polyptychodon hudsoni which have been also found in Eagle Ford, but based on the morphology of the tooth (especially the root part near the crown), I think it is more likely B. lucasi.
