Abstract

Palaeophycus bolbitermilus, a new ichnospecies of Palaeophycus Hall, is described from turbiditic strata of the Lower Silurian Upsalquitch Formation of northern New Brunswick, eastern Canada. The ichnospedes is unbranched. thinly lined, smooth and unsculptured, and in contrast to previously defined ichnospedes of Palaeophycus is characterized by a consistently developed bulb-like termination at one extremity. RÉSUMÉ Le Palaeophycus bolbitermilus, une nouvelle ichnoespêce de Palaeophycus Hall, a été relevé dans des slrates turbiditiques de la Formation du Silurien inférieur d'Upsalquitch dans Ie Nord du Nouveau-Brunswick dans l’Est du Canada. Cette ichnoespêce est non ramifiée, elle est marquée de lignes fines, elle est unie et sans relief, et par opposition aux ichnocspêces précédemment définies de Palaeophycus elle se caractérise par une terminaison piriforme uniformément dévloppée a une extrémité.
