Step-by-step explanation:

Body Fossils and Trace Fossils

The fossils of bones, teeth, and shells are called body fossils. Most dinosaur fossils are collections of body fossils. Trace fossils are rocks that have preserved evidence of biological activity. They are not fossilized remains, just the traces of organisms.
