No. A mammoth trapped in ice is a body fossil.

Trace fossils are evidence of life but not part of the animal itself. Examples of trace fossils are footprints, nests, worm burrows, teeth marks etc. Coprolites (fossilized Dung) in the strictest sense are also trace fossils.

Eggs, teeth, bones, skin, hair, feathers etc are all body fossils.
