Cretalamna appendiculata pachyrhiza
I believe that these teeth are from Cretalamna appendiculata pachyrhiza. I have come to that conclusion after a suggestion from "Toothpuller" and some research on the Internet.
The features upon which my conclusion is based are the strongly divergent cusplets and the more prominent lingual protuberances (more prominent than on other Cretalamna teeth).
Although not mentioned in Kent, C. a. pachyrhiza apparently is known from Morocco. I was easily able to find examples on the Internet.
