Hi, It has been a while since I have had time to post any pictures, but I continue my interests in cacti and other plants.
I have posted plant, fruit, and flower pictures for this plant in the identification section at http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17562 Edit: and it has been identified as Echinocerous pentalophorus.
The following are some higher powered photos of the seeds. Again for what ever reason, the seeds are highly textured.
Edit: Micro photos of Echinocerous pentalophorus seeds

Mammillaria microhelia var. microhelopsis Seeds
I posted pictures for this plant in the identification section at: http://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17567 and thanks to the members there seems to be agreement that this is Mammillaria microhelia var. microhelopsis. The following are higher magnification seed pictures. The seeds are a 50:50 mixture of seeeds from dried fruit and fresh fruit, I really couldn't see any difference. The texture is bumps, not depressions.
