Ceritoturris is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.
It was previously included within the subfamily Crassispirinae, family Turridae.
Fossils of Ceritoturris fecunda Lozouet, 1999 have been found in Miocene strata of Germany; age range: 15.97 to 11.608 Ma. and late Oligocene strata in the Aquitaine Basin
Description
The minute shell has a blunt protoconch. The second whorl shows a peripheral keel. The seven subsequent whorls are moderately rounded, axially and spirally sculptured. The siphonal canal is almost obsolete.
