Trying to find out anything on this fossil. Thinking maybe Moroccan, and teeth attached to a jaw? I can't find anything close to it.

Not familiar with the fauna .. but I'm gonna toss out some sort of Ratfish.  Just a wild guess.  I think those "teeth" have the look of it ?

 

Cheers,

Actually, I think it's a lungfish! The texture and overall appearance looks good to me - very nice!

My thought exactly. 

Lungfish tooth was what popped into my head. 

Good call, Frank!

Thanks Tim! It's good to know I learned at least something about these fish in the last few years. :)

Yeah it's a lungfish toothplate. More precisely Ceratodus humei, one of the three lungfishes present in the Kem Kem Compound Assemblage. 

It's Cenomanian in age (100,5-93,9 myo). The one Troodon shows is the same species.

Agree with lungfish. 

Hello, Kat, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco. :)
