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. RÉSUMÉ On rapporte la présence de Beaconites antarcticus dans des siltstones fluviaux de la Formation de McAras Brook, du Dévonien tardif (?moyen) de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Bien que déjà connue dans plusieurs séries du Paléozolque de L’Amèrique du Nord, on n'avait auparavant Jamais documenté cette trace en Nouvelle-Écosse. Nous notons done ici son occurrence et la comparons aux nombreux exemples déjà recensés dans des cadres stratigraphiques et environnementaux similaires, plus particulièrement au Royaume-Uni et en Antarctique.
