The heavily pigmented, pleated pecten was identified in the ventrolateral aspect of the fundus, protruding into the vitreous. |

The pecten is also used to preen feathers and to hold slippery food items. |

Curiously the Linnaeus name Pecten jacobeus is given to the Mediterranean scallop, while the scallop endemic to Galicia is called Pecten maximus due to its bigger size. |
