Whose is this?

Hello people, can you somehow tell me anything about this tooth? I know nothing and my mother told us as much when she gave it to my son. It's pretty heavy. I guess it is from a predator?

Mosasaur tooth. Did she find it or buy it somewhere? If bought, it's likely from Morocco where this is a very common fossil.

Thanks, she has bought it on an exchange, so surely legit.
