Additional Comments:
These points were included in Cook's publication on Cueva de la Nopalera (Plate 15 Number 16-19), but never discussed in the text. All of the graphs, illustrations, and discussions never mentioned a name or details. Because these were so unique, I added them to the site. I applied the name of the type site, but if I come across a proper name, of if anyone can send me more information about this type, I will update it.
