Misidentified as Carcharocles auriculatus ?

Hi Guys,

 

  Wanted to ping the brain trust.  This tooth was listed as a Carcharocles auriculatus from Morocco ...... the serrations look more like a Paleocarcharodon orientalis from Morocco to me.  Though I'm not familiar with the morphology or variation in these teeth so I was curious what others thought. It's a bit small so there's that as well.

Thanks,

I agree, it looks to me to be Paleocarcharodon.

Agreed these teeth are also very compressed compared to C. auriculatus
