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.
Indeed: a Trace Fossil is that of a burrow, footprint, coprolite, etc that's not a fossil of the animal itself that left the trace.
Evidence of an organism's activities is recorded in trace fossils. These include tracks, fossilized dung, and burrow casts.
A form of trace fossil. The study of trace fossils is known as paleoichnology. Trace fossils left as a result of movement (e.g. footprints) are known as Repichnia.Please see the related links.
Five types of fossils found in rocks are petrified fossils (minerals replace organic matter), mold fossils (imprint of an organism), cast fossils (mold filled with minerals), carbon films (thin layer of carbon residue), and trace fossils (evidence of organism's activity).

Like most fossils, dinosaur fossils have been mostly replaced with minerals and are not made of the original material. However, many contain trace amounts of original material. Some even contain proteins from the dinosaur.
Trace fossils refer to evidence of ancient life that is not the actual remains of an organism, such as footprints, burrows, and coprolites (fossilized feces). Body fossils, on the other hand, are the actual remains of an organism, such as bones, teeth, and shells. Both types of fossils can provide important information about ancient life and the environments in which they lived.
Trace Fossils!
they become trace fossils because they made the prints
they become trace fossils because they made the prints
molds and casts, trace fossils, petrified wood, and carbon filmThe four types of fossils are mold fossils, cast fossils, true-form fossils, and trace fossils. Mold fossils are impressions from when the plant or animal first decomposed. Cast fossils are plant or animal remains. True-form fossils are remaining body parts from an animal. Trace fossils are marks that have been left by animal, such as footprints.
coal is not a trace fossil

a fossil record shows what types of fossils there are
a dinosaur footprint is a trace fossil
These are known as trace fossils. Trace fossils are more technically known as ichnofossils.Footprints are more correctly described as repichnia, burrows as domichnia and fossilised dung or dropings are known as coprolites.Please see the related links for more information.the answer is trace fossils.
