Dinosaur footprints are called trace fossils because they show evidence of animal activity. Worm holes and burrows can also be fossilized, falling into the 'trace fossil' category.
This would be considered a trace fossil, specifically a "ichnofossil" which is a fossilized footprint, burrow, or other trace left by an organism rather than the remains of the organism itself.
According to fossil discovered in Montana's hell creek, Triceratops were the last dinosaurs to go extinct. This fossil is thought to be 65 million years old.

A footprint left in a river bank is an example of a cast fossil. Over time, the footprint fills in with sediment and hardens, leaving a casting of the footprint.

I don't know if you would call it a dinosaur or not, but I think they've found a fish fossil.
Yes, footprints that are preserved in rock, such as those of extinct dinosaurs, are fossils. Such fossils are known as ''trace fossils'' , as opposed to ''body fossils'' which are fossilized remnants of the hard parts of these ancient organisms.
