If it has a solid base the first thing that comes to mind is some type of Sharps. I will try and find my book and look for you...d2

Up north of you in Arkansas if it was larger we would call that a pin cone Sharps. I will go through the McKee and Mason book before I ease out a try to get a mess of squirrels for supper...d2

PS: I have looked and can't find a match. I would still guess some type of Sharps...d2
