Trace Fossils!
A hardened and preserved footprint is an example of a fossilized trace fossil. Trace fossils are marks or imprints left behind by ancient organisms, providing insights into their behaviors and interactions with their environment.
coal is not a trace fossil
Indeed: a Trace Fossil is that of a burrow, footprint, coprolite, etc that's not a fossil of the animal itself that left the trace.
a fossil record shows what types of fossils there are
Trace fossils are things like foot prints, burrows, and fossilized feces (coprolites). So quite simply, they're formed by the living-part of an animal's life (rather than its death, being buried as a body fossil). If there's a muddy bottom and an animal crawls across it, it could leave an imprint. Burrows could left behind. These divots and so on can get filled in with hardy sediment that becomes fossilized when the mud is covered over and the sediments become a standard sedimentary rock containing trace fossils.
a dinosaur footprint is a trace fossil
These are known as trace fossils. Trace fossils are more technically known as ichnofossils.Footprints are more correctly described as repichnia, burrows as domichnia and fossilised dung or dropings are known as coprolites.Please see the related links for more information.the answer is trace fossils.
