Trail: an impression made by an animal without legs.

Burrows: a hole or holes an animal dug into loose sediment (like mud).

Borings: a hole or holes an animal dug into a hard substrate (like wood or rock).

Eggs and Nests: shells that at one time would have contained babies and the nests that the babies would have been kept in.
