It is a relative dating technique. The principle is important to the analysis of folded and tilted strata.

As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.

It is a relative dating technique in geology.

If the space is subsequently filled with sediment, an external cast can be made.Molds and casts are three dimensional and preserve the surface contours of the organism.

It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of permineralization.

Many fossil trackways were made by dinosaurs, earlytetrapods, and other quadrupeds and bipeds on land. Marine organisms also made many ancient trackways (such as the trails of trilobites and eurypterids like Hibbertopterus).

Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour (in this case, diet) rather than morphology. The name is derived from the Greek words κόπρος (kopros, meaning "dung") and λίθος (lithos, meaning "stone").

True form fossils are formed when the animals soft tissues or hard parts did not decay over the years.
