Abstract
Beaconites antarcticus has recently been recorded in (?Middle-) Late Devonian fluvial siltstones or the McAras Brook Formation, Nova Scotia. Although previously noted in several North American Palaeozoic sequences the trace fossil has not, until now, been documented from Nova Scotia. Herein we note its occurrence and compare it to previously reported examples which occur in similar stratigraphical and environmental settings particularly from the British Isles and Antarctica.
RESUME
On rapporte la presence de Beaconites antarcticus dans des siltstones fluviaux de la Formation de McAras Brook, du Devonien tardif (?moyen) de la Nouvelle-Ecose. Bien que deja connue dans plusieurs series du Paleozolque de I'Amerique du Nord, on n'avait auparavant Jamais document* cette trace en Nouvelle-Ecosse. Nous notons done ici son occurrence et la comparons aux nombreux exemples deja recenses dans des cadres stratigraphiques et environnementaux similaires, plus particulierement au
Royaume-Uni et en Antarctique.
