Trace Fossils.

Explanation:

Trace Fossils are naturally preserved facts or evidence of any animal activity.

A trace of the burrow can give clues of the size, behavior of the animal and where he lived.

Trace fossils are the footprints of the animals filled with sediments such as Tracks which reveal how big the animal was and how fast it can move from one place another, and another sediment is the shelter made by the animal or the natural shelter in which he had lived.

The footprints of a dinosaur and the burrow of an ancient shrimp are examples of - Trace Fossils

Explanation:

A trace fossil or ichnofossil is defined as a geological record of biological activity. These provide us with indirect evidence of life in the past, such as the footprints, burrows, tracks, borings, etc that are left behind by animals, rather than the preserved remains of the body of the actual animal itself.
