mollusks of the genus Pecten and allied genera of the
family Pectinid[ae]. The shell is usually radially
ribbed, and the edge is therefore often undulated in a
characteristic manner. The large adductor muscle of some
the species is much used as food. One species (Vola

shell was formerly worn by pilgrims as a mark that they
had been to the Holy Land. Called also fan shell. See

is Pecten irradians; the large sea scallop, also used
as food, is P. Clintonius, or tenuicostatus.
