The fossils were discovered in the mountains of northern Italy's Lombardy region after the snow and ice that once covered them melted away, scientists say, as a result of the ongoing climate crisis.
A fossil track or ichnite (Greek "ιχνιον" (ichnion) – a track, trace or footstep) is a fossilized footprint. This is a type of trace fossil. A fossil trackway is a sequence of fossil tracks left by a single organism. Over the years, many ichnites have been found, around the world, giving important clues about the behaviour (and foot ...
The trackway Protichnites from the Cambrian, Blackberry Hill, central Wisconsin. A trace fossil, also known as an ichnofossil (/ ˈ ɪ k n oʊ f ɒ s ɪ l /; from Greek: ἴχνος ikhnos "trace, track"), is a fossil record of biological activity by lifeforms but not the preserved remains of the organism itself.

More footprints from White Sands National Park. The 61 footprints are located at the shore of a dried up ice age era lake, Lake Otero in the Tularosa Basin. [5] The prints were laid on the shores of the now-dry lake at a time when the climate in the region was less arid.
The fossilized footprints were made public in 2021 and date back between 21,000 and 23,000 years, according to new research that builds upon past evidence. - National Park Service
Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age. Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.
Footprints have been preserved as fossils and provide evidence of prehistoric life. Known as " ichnites ", these trace fossils can give clues to the behaviour of specific species of dinosaur . The study of such fossils is known as ichnology and the footprints may be given scientific names ( ichnospecies ).
The mammoth lumbers through our imaginations when we think about the world during the most recent Ice Age. They’re just one of many giant creatures that our ancestors lived alongside and which ...
