Meaning of "ichnological" in English

"Ichnological" refers to the study or description of trace fossils, which are the preserved evidence of the activity of ancient organisms. This could include footprints, burrows, or other impacts that were made by living creatures long ago. Ichnology helps scientists understand the behavior and movement of prehistoric organisms and plays a crucial role in paleontology. The term is derived from "ichno," meaning "track" or "trace," and is concerned with the surface interactions of ancient life forms rather than their skeletal remains.
