I was somewhat surprised to find that there was a Conus petergabrieli Lorenz, 2006. Is this Peter Gabriel the art rocker? If so - Whereas I am big fan of Peter and his original band Genesis, I question why, with so many deserving people who have contributed to malacology, we need to recognize other, marginal, people (like Boris Becker). Of course the Beatles rule, so maybe we need a Bailya johnpaulgeorgeringoorum.

And if the species wasn't named after the "So" author, please disregard these rantings.
