GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Trace fossils are marks left by an animal or plant that has made an impression. These fossils include nests, burrows, footprints or any other markings of the animal’s time on the earth. The structure of the animal or plant remains as a mineral form.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Fossils that show evidence of an animal’s behavior or activity are called trace fossils. This includes footprints, nests, burrows, teeth marks, or even poop!

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four types of trace fossils are tracks and trails (footprints), burrows and bores (worm holes), gastroliths (stomach stones), and coprolites (fossilized feces).
