GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Trace fossils are fossils that aren’t exactly part of the organism. These include footprints, burrows, eggshells, and my personal favorite, coprolite (or fossilized excrement). They give insight into an organism’s behavior. These are much rarer than other fossil types.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trace fossils are rocks that have preserved evidence of biological activity. They are not fossilized remains, just the traces of organisms. The imprint of an ancient leaf or footprint is a trace fossil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ichnofossils, also known as trace fossils, are geological records of the activities and behaviors of past life. Some examples include rock evidence of nests, burrows, footprints, and scat. These fossils are different from body fossils that preserve the actual remains of a body such as shells or bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -TRACE FOSSILS Trace fossils are preserved in hardened sediment and record evidence of animals. Examples of trace fossils include footprints, burrows, or coprolites (fossilized poop).

Detailed explanation-5: -Body Fossils. Molecular Fossils. Trace Fossils. Carbon Fossils. Pseudofossils.
