a trace fossil is like cast, mold, or trace fossil
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.
You can identify them by what IS the fossil. The 3 fossils are prints, coprolite, or smooth rocks corroded by gizzards.
There woul be no more sights to see because all the prints would be gone or covered with human foot prints.
Trace Fossils!
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
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.
