I recently acquired these beauties from a nursery in central TX but they came with no ID tag. I'm fairly confident they are either Copiapoa hypogea "Lizard Skin" or Copiapoa tenuissima. Is anyone able to help me confirm? Thanks for any info!

I’m not the best with poa IDs but my first thought was hypogaea. I have two babies going from seed and these are similar. I don’t think they’d count as lizard skin though, that indicates a rough texture on the skin that I don’t see. Of my pair, one has moderate roughness and the other does not. Seems to be variable.
You should have a bunch of seeds in them, pretty cool. Nice plants 🙂
Hypogea i think too
I can only confirm that it’s not tenuissima. Only because I have one, and it doesn’t resemble this one. 🤷♀️
