What John said made me remember an epic moment with an old cone! I was working with my shells and picked up a huge leopard cone collected by the late Marguerite Thomas. I shook the cone and out came the operculum.....30 years after she collected the shell! You never know!

To all worried about odor and shells. Enjoy it while it lasts. This
means that you might be able to recover an operculum or portions of the
animal incluing the radua.
