Unusual El Mers group tooth -- Hadrosaur, or unusual sauropod?`

Given the root shape, I think this is Hadrosaur. But it is different than other sauropod teeth I have seen from Morocco with that central ridge down the middle. I would love others thoughts.  When I first saw it without the root, I thought a hadrosaur tooth. But now the rounded root--it is a sauropod isn't it? But does anybody know of any which have a ridge running down the central of the crown like that?

 

El Mers--Morocco. 4cm long

 

 

 

thanks

I have seen this, too, and did not find a clear identification for it. Nevertheless, an unusual one.

If you think about to buy, talk hard about the price :D. Seller is a trustful person, sometimes a bit expensive but a nice guy you can trust

Or did you buy it? I have seen it a week ago around

I didn't buy it yet. Trying to get an idea as to what exactly it is first. I am edging towards sauropod, given the long, round shaped root which doesnt match hadrosaur. But the ridge is throwing me since I haven't seen any sauropod teeth with a flat crown and a ridge like that.
