| phylum | Mollusca | Nodipecten is a genus of large scallops, 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. The Lions' paw scallop is one notable species.
