Flickia is an ammonite genus from the Upper Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous.
Description
Flickia is a very small ammonite. Its shell varied in shape from subevolute to subinvolute. It was narrow, smooth, and had a rounded venter. Despite belonging to the most advanced order of ammonites, its suture was more similar to that of Goniatites and other primitive ammonites.
