Unknown tooth from Morocco

I recently bought three teeth with the following description;

 

Description
Dinosaur Teeth - set of 3 - Spinosaurus, Deltadromeus & Siroccopteryx - 33×10×9 mm
Cretaceous, Cenomanian, Kem Kem Fm. - Morocco

Well preserved teeth of different dinosaur species: Spinosaurus maroccanus, Deltadromeus agilis and Siroccopteryx moroccoensis. No restoration, no reparation.

Age: Cretaceous, Cenomanian, Kem Kem Fm.
Locality: El Bega, Morocco
Spinosaurus tooth size: 33 x 10 x 9 mm
Deltadromeus tooth size: 16 x 7 x 3 mm
Siroccopteryx tooth size: 12 x 3 x 2 mm
Total weight: 5 g

 

But I don’t have a lot of confidence in the ID, especially the ‘siroccopteryx’

It has been suggested that it may be a Pterosaur or even a fish. What are your thoughts?

 Your two dinosaur teeth:  the large tooth is an Spinosaurid.  Your middle tooth is an indet Abelisaurid.

I think the pterosaur tooth is actually the predatory fish Aidachar pankowski. I don't see the typical vertical ridges.

Definitely no vertical ridges; it’s very smooth. Thank you
