    i thought so too but i checked the morphology notes and well there you have it.if you look closely you can see the spiral isnt attached. kind of strange huh?

    If this was a barred spiral (lower) wouldnt the top arm be attached to the end of the bar? see how it wraps around the end of the 'bar' to end in the middle. Although I couldnt explain the dynamics of how it happened its that one arm that leads me to agree with the original classification. My thoughts for what theyre worth.
