An imprint fossil is formed when an animal or plant makes a print in the soil. Such as a footprint.
Trace fossils are formed when an organism leaves a trace; such as a footprint, a bite mark, or even poo.
A fossil created by a print or impression is called an imprint fossil. Imprint fossils are formed when an organism's remains leave an impression in sediment that hardens over time. This process captures the shape or texture of the organism, providing valuable information about ancient life forms.

An imprint of a cactus leaf was formed in a fossilized state, often found in sedimentary rock layers where the conditions allowed for the preservation of organic material. This process typically occurs in arid or semi-arid environments, where the leaves could be buried quickly by sediment, preventing decomposition. Over time, minerals infiltrate the leaf's structure, creating a lasting imprint that can be studied by paleobotanists to understand ancient ecosystems. Such fossil imprints provide valuable insights into the vegetation and climate of the past.
The base word for imprint is "print."
