A guy is selling this tooth, accordingly a theropod from France, found in Cherves-Richemont quarry, Cherves-de-Cognac. It measures 1,5 cm in length. The seller says it is "allosaurid". I've been looking a bit around for some similiar teeth from the area, as well as species, and I find it a bit hard to find some good articles or pictures to cover this, but from what I can make out of it at this point, it may either be Nuthetes, or perhaps a french Neovenator? I had read recently, that they had found teeth in France, resembling the holotype of Neovenator, so that would make sense with the "allosaurid". There's a lot of disagreement about Nuthetes in general as well, from what I've heard. So what would you guys classify this tooth as? To me the shape does not look much like any dromaeosaurid.

I saw this nuthetes destructor tooth for sale from England. I thought it was incredibly rare until I saw some from France. My book tells me only pieces of jaw bone and isolated teeth have been found. My book also tells me that they are found in southern England. Is my book out of date or are the French ones not actually nuthetes destructor? Or is it just the English ones that are rare?
