Abstract

The ichnology of the Antillean region remains largely unstudied. A large specimen of Zoophycos isp. is reported from the Middle Miocene Grand Bay Formation of Carriacou, Grenadines, Lesser Antilles, possibly the first member of this ichnotaxon to be documented from the region. The Grand Bay Formation has previously been interpreted as a shallower‐water unit, but the presence of Zoophycos, with other, supporting evidence, suggests that it is more likely to have been deposited under deeper‐water conditions, probably on the outer island shelf or deeper.
