Answer:

Trackways/footprints, mold and cast fossils, feeding marks, coprolites, and burrows. Trace fossils show the activity of ancient organisms rather than the body fossil itself. However, it is rather difficult to identify an organism by use of mere trace fossil, and therefore, it is less accurate.
