I just made a few more images of the pup in this post.
 
It still looks a bit strange to me, could this be a crest mutation? the growth formed where there was damage to the original cactus!

It would be very cool if it were but I really doubt it being a crest.

I have heard that these mutations are caused by damage to the meristem, this damage was caused by a possum!

it could turn out to be monstrose or cristate, it is not that rare for a normal column to throw a freaky pup when the meristem was damaged.
like you said: wait and see

i think i know where that plant came from. its a T. riomizquensis. it closely related to scopicola.
urwotueat those pups will come out fine this variety/cutting seems to always throw out verticle pups.

i don't know how you can tell the difference but i trust your judgement 
my tricho id'ing skills need a few more years of honing
btw: what happened to all the pics in the species compariason thread?
it was a very good thread but i had to unsticky it as all the photos vanished.

Thanks guys,
I also find it hard to distinguish different species, the main differences I see are in the spines.
It would be great to have a thread with photos or drawings of the identifying features!

I never saw his images, I hope he can get the thread happening again!
I have another Trichocereus species that was identified as T. scopulicola , it has a more glaucous colouration than the above specimen and the spines are a bit shorter, I will post some images soon!
