Asfla marine reptile tooth ID

[Geodude]

Hello, here is a tooth from the Akrabou Formation, Asfla, Goulmima, El Rachidia, Morocco.

Approximately 93.9 – 89.8 million years old.

I read that several marine reptiles have been described from this location, including a pliosaurid and an elasmosaurid.

Any idea which marine reptile this tooth belongs to?

The scale is in cm.

Thank you!

Unsure about the actual species found in that area but I would tend to identify as pliosaur indt as elasmosaur teeth tend to be more gracile. The stirations on the tooth match what I would expect from an pliosaur.

Thank you, I agree with that.
