Odd Morrocco Phosphate beds tooth

Recommended Posts

I picked up this tooth a few days. It was in a bin with plesiosaur teeth. But this one was much different. It's 2" long. One carinae, that is not serrated, likely on the mesial side. The other side is rounded.  Faint striations that run up the tooth from the base, but slowly fade away towards the crown. I'm not an expert on mosasaurs, looking for help on ID.

Not 100% sure, but consider Dyrosaurus anterior as an option (or maybe another related croc, there are a lot of species from Eocene of Khouribga). It would be Eocene then, but I think it is easy for dealers to confuse Khouribga teeth from different ages.
