Spino Jaw -OR- merely a Croc Jaw?

Hello Fossil Forum Family!  

 

The specimen is too partial and small for me to have any confidence in the ID:  could it actually be a spino seed tooth and jaw fragment, or is it one of the dozens of crocodile specs in the area (Cretaceous, Moroccan)?   Any insight would be much appreciated.  Thanks! - Ryan

Your third and fourth photo appears to show vertical ridges so If thats correct its most likely an unerupted Spinosaurid tooth.  Just curious, do you see any light serrations on the carina near the tip?
