The heavily pigmented, pleated pecten was identified in the ventrolateral aspect of the fundus, protruding into the vitreous. |
The proximal part of the free edge of the pecten is somewhat swollen, and sections through this part have a club-shaped form. |
Thus a Crepidula on a pecten shell will be ribbed while the same species on a stone will be perfectly smooth. |
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. |
A special sense-organ, such as the flabellum of Limulus or the pecten of scorpion, remains and gives rise to the auditory organ. |
Found on pecten shells, and abundant off the coast of Maine. |
