A not preserved fossil is often referred to as a "trace fossil." Trace fossils are geological records of biological activity, such as footprints, burrows, or bite marks, rather than the remains of the organism itself. They provide valuable insights into the behavior and movement of ancient creatures, even though the actual organisms may not have been preserved.
