A voter for you/YHO to help me :)

k, its the weekend, so maybe i will get some good opinions on this, you dont need to comment, but please vote, im labeling this one this weekend, and am still kinda lost on the type. Its got characteristics of a Hellgap and Lake Mohave, but if you look the base has a teeny tiny indentation like that of the Bajada and Escobas. Also if you look closely you can see some small ears protruding, obviously it has been worked down alot, but there should be enough stem to type it. I would LOVE to type it as a Hellgap, but i want it to be correct.... If you choose other, if you dont want to post a comment, please pm me what you think it possibly is, and its from the SouthWest USA. THANKS!!!

lol, its ok. alright, its been brought to my attention that the area this was found it might be a Bajada cluster point. tony baker did do a study on these guys and seems pretty good. as he speakes on his first point in the bajada cluster this one too has been ground all around the base, its silky smooth and on the edges its also ground. sorry for the crummy pics b4, still possibly a hellgap tho :wink:
