I have two plesiosaur teeth but the papers got mixed up, can you help me identify which is which? Greatly appreciated!

The first is only about 1 and a half inches long while the second is closer to 3 and a quarter. Certificates are attached to help narrow it down. 

I'm trying to make little info plaques for my display case so any additional info is welcome!

Oh man, I hate it when that happens.

Fortunately in this case both certificates say the same thing just with slightly different wording. They're both Elasmosaur (A type of plesiosaur) teeth in matrix from the Late Cretaceous Phosphate Deposits of Khouribga, Morocco.

011 is smaller one.

021 is larger one. Or just call John and ask. :).

I have two similar elasmosaurs with similar certificates.

The elasmosaurid Zarafasaura oceanis is the plesiosaur that is described from the Ouled Abdoun Basin Phosphate beds that includes Khouribga.  Its Maastrichtian in age.  Thats what you labels should include.

If anyone is feeling extra ambitious I just posted the last part of my collection. It's probably the hardest of the bunch to identify, again I really do appreciate the help.
