Actually with the skeletal protruding out like that you'd be more inclined to have a more definitive ID

The skeleton actually looks more like an A. subechinata than a regular A. echinata But with the AIMS sight be so screwy lately it's been really hard to cross reference.

Very nice, coming along wonderfully! Im leaning on the side of subechinata, but really hard to tell without seeing the skeleton to be able to differentiate between the two species.
