Vertebrate trace fossils are reported from the upper Parrsboro Formation at Rams Head, west of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. They occur as casts of tetrapod trackways. The trackmakers thrived in a floodplain setting vegetated with tree ferns. Pseudobradypus erneri Schmidt, represented by three trackways, has previously been reported from Germany. It is interpreted as having been produced by a cotylosaur and occurs in association with several scattered footprints and poorly preserved trackways of Hylopus hardingi Dawson; microsaurian-produced ichnotaxa are represented by Dromilopus quadrifidus Matthew and Cursipes dawsoni Matthew. Assignment of these trace fossils to the late Namurian to Westphalian A (upper Carboniferous) accords with the palynologically deduced age of the strata. As such, the sequence, which hosts the trace fossils, is stratigraphically equivalent to the Coal Mine Point Member of the Joggins Formation.   REESUME  Des traces de vertebres fossilises sont signalees dans I'etage supeiieur de la formation de Parrsboro, a Rams Head, a I'ouest de Parrsboro, en Nouvelle-Ecosse. Elles se manifestent sous forme de sillons de contre-empreintes de telrapods. Les creatures qui ont laisse ces traces vivaient dans une plaine inondable dont la vegefation se composait de fougeres geantes. L'espece Pseudobradypus erneri de Schmidt, qui a laisse trois sillons d'empreintes, a deja ete signalee en Allemagne. On croit qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un cotylosaurien et les empreintes s'accompagnent de plusieurs autres empreintes dispersees et mal preservees de l'espece Hylopus hardingi de Dawson; des traces fossilisees auraient ete laissees par des microsauriens comme le Dromilopus quadrifidus de Matthew et le Cursipes dawsoni de Matthew. L'attribution de ces empreintes fossilisees au namurien superieur et au westphalien A (Carbonifere superieur) corroborerait l'âge palynologique estime de cet etage. De fait, la sequence qui renferme les traces fossilisees s'apparente au plan stratigraphique aux vestiges trouves dans le secteur Coal Mine Point de la formation de Joggins.
