Hi everyone!

I've been looking at possible ids for this one and my best guess is Elosuchus, but I wanted to make sure since the crown is kinda small (juvenile?).

Kem Kem Beds, Morocco

Crown Height is 2 cm,

Crown base is 1.3 x 1.25 cm

Overall specimen is 6.4 cm long (straight line)

Largest cross section on root is 1.4 x 1.4 cm.

As usual any feedback is appreciated!

Looks like probable Elosuchus yes. It doesn't have to be from a smaller individual. Some places on the jaw have smaller teeth. It depends on position.

Looks like Elosuchus to me. See below specimens also identified as Elosuchus cherifiensis for comparison:
