What is the difference between trace fossils and original fossils?
Body fossils are any fossil that comes from the animal itself. Examples of body fossils are fossilized skin, bone, teeth, claws, eggs, embryos etc. Trace fossils are any fossil connected to ancient life but not the animal itself. Examples include footprints, teethmarks, nests, gizzard stones, coprolites, burrows etc. In a lot of ways trace fossils are as important as body fossils. The give us insight into how the animal lived, how fast it walked, what ate what etc.
