I had the impression that the scallop pattern on the dorsal surface of
Crepidula was due to lying directly against the surface of a pecten.

Now I think it's more likely that the pattern is due to a Crepidula
following the ribs of the scallop on which it is attached. The surface of
the scallop "guides" the development of the Crepidula's edge.

What do folks say?
