Trace fossil - Trace fossils, also called ichnofossils (, meaning "trace" or "track"), are structures preserved in sedimentary rocks that record biological activity. While we are most familiar with relatively spectacular, fossilized hard-part remains such as shells and bones (known as body fossils), trace fossils are often less dramatic, but nonetheless very ...
Paleoecology - Paleoecology uses data from fossils and subfossils to reconstruct the ecosystems of the past. It includes the study of fossil organisms and their bromalites and other trace fossils in terms of their life cycle, their living interactions, their natural environment, their manner of death and burial.
Regurgitalith - RegurgitalithsBulletin of Zoological Nomenclature Volume 60, Part 2, 30 June 2003Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature Volume 61, Part 1, 31 March 2004 are the fossilised remains of stomach contents that has been regurgitated by an animal. They are trace fossils and can be subdivided into ichnotaxa.
Ichnotaxon - An ichnotaxon (plural ichnotaxa) is defined by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature as "a taxon based on the fossilized work of an organism". Ichnotaxa are names used to identify and distinguish morphologically distinctive trace fossils.
