All of these are prognathodontine, thus Thalassotitan atrox. No idea what's up with that last specimen. Might simply be somewhat crushed. How many carinae does it have?

Probably a more posterior jaw position then. Mosasaur teeth become more robust and recurved towards te back of the jaw. The posterior-most ones get really weird, indeed looking almost as if they've partially folded in on themselves, as they bulge labially and buckle lingually...

Yeah, I'd say Thalassotitan atrox,  it's the only prognathodontine currently described from Ouled Abdoun...
