GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These fossils include nests, burrows, footprints or any other markings of the animal’s time on the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trace fossils are useful for paleontologists because they tell about the activity of ancient organisms. For example, the study of dinosaur footprints has contributed significantly to our understanding of dinosaur behavior.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -1. Name five kinds of trace fossils. Burrows, coprolites, tracks, trails, nests and footprints are examples of trace fossils.
