Fossils of Ceritoturris fecunda Lozouet, 1999 have been found in Miocene strata of Germany; age range: 15.97 to 11.608 Ma.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=107023 Fossilworks: Ceritoturris] and late Oligocene strata in the Aquitaine Basin[http://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/g2003n2a2.pdf Lozouet, Pierre.

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.Dall (1924). [https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/107498#page/128/mode/1up W.H. Dall, Notes on Molluscan Nomenclature; Proc. biol. Soc. Washington 37: 88.]
