Nodipecten
Nodipecten is a genus of large scallops,[1] marine bivalve molluscs in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. These scallops often have attractive, strongly colored, thick shells. The generic name Nodipecten means "nodular scallop", because in this genus the shell is usually sculpted with regular, very large nodes.

gollark: What if code guessing betting pool?
gollark: Did you know? A single algorithm, "Hutter search", can solve any well-defined problem in an asymptotically optimal time, barring some caveats.
gollark: This is set in ~2008? Suspicious.
gollark: Since I exist, your theory does not fit.
gollark: No.
