| 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. |
| Thus a Crepidula on a pecten shell will be ribbed while the same species on a stone will be perfectly smooth. |
| The proximal part of the free edge of the pecten is somewhat swollen, and sections through this part have a club-shaped form. |
| The pecten is also used to preen feathers and to hold slippery food items. |
| Wilkens documented more eyes on the upper compared with the lower mantle of the single Bermuda scallop he sampled, and Dakin reported a similar pattern in Pecten opercular is. |
| The heavily pigmented, pleated pecten was identified in the ventrolateral aspect of the fundus, protruding into the vitreous. |
