Palaeophycus bolbitermilus isp. nov. from the Lower Silurian Upsalquitch formation of New Brunswick, Eastern Canada

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 ichnospecies is unbranched, thinly lined, smooth and unsculptured, and in contrast to previously defined ichnospecies of Palaeophycus is characterized by a consistently developed bulb-like termination at one extremity.
