Unknown North African theropod dinosaur maxilla, carcharodontosaurid or abelisaurid?

This is very perplexing, and the provider is also unsure of what it is. Initially, I thought it belonged to a Carcharodontosaurid, but upon closer examination, I don't think so. Considering other theropods from North Africa, perhaps it is more akin to Abelisaurid or  Afrovenator??

I tried to clean it further, but it was very fragile, so I gave up after cleaning just one tooth socket.
