Abstract

A large arthropod trackway from the Cap-aux-Os Member of the Battery Point Formation (Gaspé Sandstone Group, Middle Devonian), from the Baie de Gaspé, eastern Canada, is described and assigned to the ichnotaxon Palmichnium (= Paleohelcura) antarcticum (Gevers et al., 1971). A large stylonurid eurypterid or scorpion is considered the most likely producer. A shallow-water marginal fluvial environment is inferred as the setting, the animal making a transition from walking to swimming along the course of the trackway.
