Scored an unknown tooth, with some shark teeth

Visited a friend this weekend who gave me some nice fossils. I know where the black teeth come from and I'm guessing that the lighter teeth are from Morocco. The circled tooth I'm unsure about, any ideas? Thanks

Indeed the lighter ones are Moroccan. Squalicorax pristodontus (serrated) and Serratolamna sp. The dark ones are makos. The tooth circled is mosasaur. The "ribbed ring" is a piece of ammonite.

I'm thinking that the ammonite piece is dactylioceras sp. Had an idea it might be mosasaur, but had to make sure. Thanks for all your help:dinothumb:

The cusped Moroccan tooth is Cretolamna (marocannabiauriculata. I agree with ThePhysicist on all the other IDs.
