What genus does this otodus tooth belong to

Otodus is a genus. The tooth could be from Otodus obliquus. I don't know much about Moroccan teeth, so someone else may say it's Cretolamna or some other lamnid.

While I struggle to tell late Cretolamna teeth apart from Otodus obliquus teeth, I agree with the others and think this tooth is more Cretolamna-like in appearance.
