Hello, I saw this tooth beeing sold yesterday. Seller offered it und the name of Mosasaurus beaugei, wich it clearly isnt for the lack of strong prismatism.

It also doesnt seem to have the three facets on the labial side that would indicate Mosasaurus hoffmanni, so going by the shape, and strong serrations, I think this is a tooth of Hainosaurus boubker ? Its 6cm in sice, and was found in the Ouled Abdun basin, morocco. 
 

Thanks !

There's no such thing as too many teeth.

Yes. This is Hainosaurus boubker. One telltale sign to differentiate Hainosaurus and Mosasaurus is that Mosasaurus will have considerable medial (towards center of the jaw/tongue pointing) curvature.
