Trackway

A trackway is a set of impressions in the soft earth, usually a set of footprints, left by a life-form. A fossil trackway is the fossilized imprint of a trackway. Trackways have been found all over the world. They are especially valuable for determining some characteristics of life-forms, such as behavior. Thus some trackways for hominids in Africa showed that they lived together and were not solitary.
