Can anyone ID these dinosaur fossils from Ambondromamy, Madagascar

Hi all, a seller recently offered this dinosaur claw and tooth to me from Ambondromamy of Madagascar.

 

Truth be told, I know next to nothing about dinosaur fossils from this region besides there being massive predatory reptiles there. I was hoping someone could shed some light on what these could be. I am not even sure if the claw is dinosaurian.

 

Thank you.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Claw is from an indet. sauropod not sure you will get a closer ID one possibility might be Lapparentosaurus which is described but multiple sauropod can be present.  Tooth,  if its also from the Jurassic of the Isalo III formation does not have any theropod Teeth described .  Looks like an Abelisaurid.  Very little is known from the Jurassic of Madagascar.  Need to be cautious this material is not cretaceous
