Catalan solids (duals of Archimedeans) 2 out of 13 + 2
Archimedean and Catalan solids have each two members that come in 2 chiral forms (different mirror images).
In Special Snapology we deal only with equilateral faces. Only two Catalan solids have equilateral faces: The rhombic dodecahedron and the rhombic triacontahedron.
There are n ≥ 3 equilateral prisms and n ≥ 3 equilateral antiprisms.
