Hi guys I picked up this tooth recently from Morroco. It’s approximately 6cm long (Just a little short) The tooth is said to come from the High atlas region in morroco, Talsint, Figuig province. The Ksar metlili formation (140-152 MYA) making the tooth Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous. On mesial side 10 serrations per 5mm and distal 9 serrations per 5mm. Base of tooth is slightly damaged but looks ovalish. Some wear to top of tooth. I know some of these teeth actually come from the Dekker formation and could possibly be synonymous with the Kem Kem beds - so could the tooth be a carcharadontosaurus? compared to my other two carch teeth from the classic beds the tooth looks different nt as do the serrations look a little different under high magnification original seller listed it as theropod indet. But said he had done some research and thought it to be similar to Allosaurids (I’m not too sure but I’m not as Familair with these new morrocan teeth) many thanks, GK
