PHYCODES-TEMPLUS SP-NOV FROM THE LOWER DEVONIAN OF NORTHWESTERN NEW-BRUNSWICK, EASTERN CANADA

Phycodes templus isp. nov. is described from siliciclastic turbidites of the Wapske Formation of the Tobique Group (Lower Devonian) of north western New Brunswick, eastern Canada. The new ichnospecies is charact erized by a minimum of two, more typically several, bundled sets of es sentially horizontal, broomlike or flabellate, internally structureles s, lined burrows. Burrow sets within an individual specimen are interc onnected by a single tunnel to form an overall inverted pagoda-shaped structure. The ichnotaxon is believed to have been produced by a vagil e deposit feeder, most likely a worm-like organism.
