Leonardo's contributions are central to the history of paleontology because he established a line of continuity between the two main branches of paleontology – ichnology and body fossil paleontology. [39] [40] [41] He identified the following: [39] The biogenic nature of ichnofossils, i.e. ichnofossils were structures left by living organisms;
