Flabellipecten Stearnsii
''Pecten'' is a genus of large scallops or saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. This is the type genus of the family. This genus is known in the fossil record from the Cretaceous period to the Quaternary period (age range: from 70.6 to 0.0 million years ago). Fossil shells within this genus have been found all over the world. Etymology The name ''Pecten'' is from the Latin word for a comb or rake. Since 1904, a ''Pecten'' shell has been used as the basis of the logo of Shell petroleum company. Species Species in the genus ''Pecten'' include: *'' P. albicans'' (Schröter, 1802) *'' P. afribenedictus'' Kilburn & Dijkstra 1995 *'' P. alcesianus'' † McLearn 1933 *'' P. alpha'' † Dall 1898 *'' P. argillensis'' † Conrad 1860 *'' P. assinboiensis'' † Russell & Landes 1937 *'' P. aurantiacus'' Roding 1798 *'' P. aztecus'' † Bose 1906 *'' P. barretti'' † Seeley 1861 *'' P. bifidus'' † Menke 1843 *'' P.biddleana'' †Kel ...

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous ( ) is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 79 million years, it is the longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic. The name is derived from the Latin ''creta'', "chalk", which is abundant in the latter half of the period. It is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation ''Kreide''. The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now- extinct marine reptiles, ammonites, and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. The world was ice free, and forests extended to the poles. During this time, new groups of mammals and birds appeared. During the Early Cretaceous, flowering plants appeared and began to rapidly diversify, becoming the dominant group of plants across the Earth b ...

Pecten Albicans
''Pecten albicans'', common name Japanese baking scallop, is a species of marine bivalve mollusks in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. Description ''Pecten albicans'' has a shell reaching a size of 95 mm, with about 12 radiating ribs. The color of the surface usually ranges from light brown to dark brown, but it may be also orange or purple. The lower valve of this species is less convex than in ''Pecten excavatus''. This species is of commercial value for fishing in Japan. Distribution This species can be found in the Japanese and the South China Sea The South China Sea is a marginal sea of the Western Pacific Ocean. It is bounded in the north by the shores of South China (hence the name), in the west by the Indochinese Peninsula, in the east by the islands of Taiwan and northwestern Phi ...s.
