Implement tooth assembly with tip and adapter

An adapter of a tooth assembly for a base edge of a ground engaging implement, the adapter comprising:

• a rearwardly extending top strap;
• a rearwardly extending bottom strap having a top surface, wherein the top strap and the bottom strap define a gap therebetween for receiving the base edge of the ground engaging implement;
• and
• a forward extending adapter nose comprising:
• a bottom surface extending forward relative to the top strap and the bottom strap,
• a front surface,
• a top surface having a first support surface proximate the front surface and having a rear edge, a second support surface proximate the top strap and the bottom strap and having a front edge, and an intermediate surface extending from the front edge of the second support surface to the rear edge of the first support surface, wherein a distance between the first support surface and the bottom surface is less than a distance between the second support surface and the bottom surface, and wherein the second support surface is approximately parallel to the bottom surface, and
• oppositely disposed side surfaces extending upwardly from the bottom surface to the top surface wherein the side surfaces of the adapter nose are generally planar along the forward extending adapter nose and are tapered such that a distance between the side surfaces decreases as the side surfaces extend downwardly from the top surface toward the bottom surface.
