Claim:
1. A retention lobe for a ground engaging tip, the retention lobe comprising: a lobe base having a base outline, wherein at least a portion of the base outline lies in a base plane, wherein the base outline includes a front base edge and a rear base edge opposite the front base edge; and a lobe outer surface spaced from the lobe base and extending from the front base edge to the rear base edge, wherein the lobe outer surface includes: a front lobe outer surface extending from the front base edge obliquely relative to the base plane and toward the rear base edge; an intermediate lobe outer surface spaced from the base plane and extending obliquely from the front lobe outer surface; a retention aperture extending through the intermediate lobe outer surface of the retention lobe; and a rear lobe outer surface extending obliquely from the intermediate lobe outer surface and terminating at the rear base edge, such that the rear lobe outer surface tapers from the intermediate lobe outer surface toward the base plane, wherein a cross-section of the retention lobe includes an obtuse angle defined between the front lobe outer surface and the intermediate lobe outer surface and an obtuse angle defined between the intermediated lobe outer surface and the rear lobe outer surface.
