GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ans: Imprints, tracks, and trails can also become fossilized and are called Trace fossils. Examples are dinosaur footprints or worm burrows.

Detailed explanation-2: -A trace fossil is a result of animal activity. For example, a dinosaur footprint or an arthropod burrow would be an example of a trace fossil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tracks, burrows, eggshells, nests, tooth marks, gastroliths (gizzard stones), and coprolites (fossil feces) are examples of trace fossils or ichnofossils.

Detailed explanation-4: -A trace is a record of biological activity in nature. Some examples of traces include footprints, paw prints, or hoof prints; burrows made by rabbits or snakes; holes left in the ground by plant roots; and feeding marks. We can classify traces according to the time that they were formed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Body fossils, unsurprisingly, are parts of organism bodies. These include teeth, bones, skin, eggs, leaves, wood and bark. Trace fossils are anything made by an organism or left behind by one. Examples are footprints, bodily waste, burrows or the previously mentioned stromatolites.
