A trace fossil is a type of fossil that provides evidence of the activity of ancient organisms rather than the organisms themselves. Examples include footprints, burrows, and coprolites (fossilized feces). Unlike body fossils, which are the preserved remains of the organism, trace fossils offer insights into behavior, movement, and interactions with the environment.
