Meanings of pecten in English

No body-pile or pecten ever grows upon the excoriated part which preserves through life a livid ashen hue.

The formation was produced at the time when ammonites, gryphites, oysters, Pecten, Mytilus, etc., etc., lived.

In the South Australian province species of Mactra, Psammobia, Venus, Tapes and Pecten, all peculiar, were taken.

Now its world-famous emblem (the Pecten) is recognized by millions of people in every walk of life.

These are, in descending order, Pecten asper and Cardiaster fossarius, Schloen bachia rostrata, Hoplites lautus and H. interruptus, Douvilleiceras mammillalum.

The population was evidently ichthyophagous, to judge by the vast accumulations of shells of scallops, oysters, limpets, pectens, and other mollusca.

"Sha'r," properly, hair of body, pile, especially the pecten.
