A trace fossil is one that merely indicates that an organism left evidence of its existence. Some examples would be burrows or footprints that appear in sedimentary rock. An index fossil is of an organism that dates to a particular time in the geologic record, the organism only appearing in a certain segment of that record. Index fossils are indicators of the age of the rock in which they are found.
