Pinctada margaritifera box from Viminacium [PDF]
Starinar, 2017 A Pinctada margaritifera box was unearthed at Viminacium in 1985, at the site of Pe}ine, in a grave containing cremated remains. It was made from the shell of a pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera), an exotic clam whose habitat is tropical seas:

Assessment of an alternative Pinctada margaritifera spat collector in French Polynesia [PDF]
Aquaculture Reports, 2021 Plastic waste in the oceans is a growing concern due to its size diversity, its ubiquitous nature and its impact on both marine organisms and ecosystems. While threatened by this marine plastic litter, the aquaculture industries also represent one of its

Anisotropy of Mechanical Properties of Pinctada margaritifera Mollusk Shell [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2020 The mechanical properties such as compressive strength and nanohardness were investigated for Pinctada margaritifera mollusk shells. The compressive strength was evaluated through a uniaxial static compression test performed along the load directions ...

Phenome of pearl quality traits in the mollusc transplant model Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe bivalve Pinctada margaritifera exhibits three main transplant phenotypes derived from the donor (from which a mantle graft tissue, the saibo, is excised), the recipient (into which the saibo is implanted with a nucleus, leading to the formation of a pearl sac “chimera”) and the cultured pearls themselves.
