Ammonicera is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the family Omalogyridae. [1]

Contents

This genus comprises the smallest gastropods known, featuring discoid, planispiral shells that typically measure in the adult state 1 mm or even less in size. The protoconch is characterized by distinct ridges and grooves. The teleoconch typically displays prominent sculpture, though it is occasionally weak. The aperture ranges from rounded to subquadrate.
