ID Crocodyle teeth from Kem Kem Beds Formation

Hello everyone!

 

Can anyone please help me with the identification of these crocodile teeth?

 

All come from Kem Kem (Morocco) I don't have a more precise location.  To the eye there seems to be some Antaeusuchus or Uruguaysuchidae teeth. The dimension is 10/15mm

 

Could any expert help me please?

Please add jpeg photos using the File add feature.  

The two crocodyliforms you mentioned are not recognized from Kem Kem deposits

Thanks for your opinion.

 

I thinked Antaeusuchus for 6-7. The tip is typical triangular/pyramidal.

 

For n.2 im not sure its a crocodylomorph

Yes forgot about that species but the enamel appears to be rugosus not smooth like yours

Hamadasuchus and Antaeusuchus are probably suitable candidates yeah.

We are in the KK Group and that species is not described from there and its Albian in age. 

Not sure I agree #6 is rugosus

Okay, the n.2 is possible fish? The shape is similar to the teeth of plesiosaurs, but they are not described in the cenomaniamo del kem kem
