Some More Strange Fossils, Help!

Recommended Posts

Just got another lot of Moroccan fossils and these three have me stumped.  I know I've seen the first one somewhere before but I can't find anything on it.  The shark tooth is similar to one I asked about previously but doesn't have the same ridges as the last one.  And the final tooth looks like a mosasaur tooth but has a strange flat section on one side of the tooth.  Any assistance in identifying these would be wonderful.  Thanks for your help in advance.

The 'mosasaur' tooth is in fact a mosasaur; I believe it to be M. beaugei - @Praefectus @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon - thoughts?

Come to the spring that is The Fossil Forum, where the stream of warmth and knowledge never runs dry.

3rd picture vaguely reminds me of a fish basioccipital. Not saying it's that though :)

It's a pathological prognathodontine tooth and, as I don't see an anterior carina, may be a palatal tooth.
