Yes, the history behind this species is frightening! I don't have a collection myself nor am
married, but I assume if I told my wife I was going to buy such "bargain", she would probably ask me
to buy a comfortable couch so I could sleep on the garage!

My deep sympathies to those who were truely impacted in connection to
these events.  Chimaeria incomparabilis now has a dark legend associated
with it that rivials the smashing of the second-known Conus gloriamaris at
auction to retain the orginal's uniqueness or the fabrication of Epitonium
scalare to defraud 18th century collectors.  Legends to add to shell-lore.
