∙ 15y agoThis is not really a question, but I'm going to assume you are asking for information about them. Fossilized imprints of footprints from animals are under the category of trace fossils. Trace fossils are geological records of biological activity. Some of the most spectacular trace fossils are the massive, three-toed footprints produced by dinosaurs. Fossils of bones can reconstruct the skeletons, but only footprints can show how ancient animals stood.
