Vicetia is a genus of cowrie from the Eocene of Europe and Pakistan. Five species are currently recognized with all European forms forming a single anagenetic lineage progressively growing bigger and developing stronger ornamentation. The last known species, V. bizzottoi, is the biggest known cowrie known to science with a shell length of 33.5 cm. They were likely feeding on sponges or algea and went extinct following widespread climate change at the end of the Eocene, giving way for more derived lineages of cowries.
