Imprint fossils are formed in clay and silt sediment. These sediments are fine-grained and moist and can hold onto an imprint for a long period of time.
Formation
Imprint fossils are formed from an organism moving in some way, leaving behind a trace or track. These tracks are preserved when the clay/silt dries slowly and is covered by other sediment. Plants can also leave imprint fossils when they are covered by sediment. The leaf tissue degrades, leaving an imprint of where the leaf once was.
Significance
Imprint fossils can give information about an organism's activity and the type of ecosystem that existed where the fossil was found.
Considerations
Scientists are able to consider how certaino3 organisms moved or interacted with one another, including their gaits and their predator-prey relationships, based on imprint fossils.
Decoding the Fossils
Paleontologists sometimes have a hard time discerning what organism left the imprint fossil, particularly in marine environments where there were many burrowing organisms.

The mostly form where they can be buried before the animal carcass rots away, such as in bogs, mudslides, the ocean floor, and sand dunes.
↓
Conversely, they are mostly found in arid regions where the winds and other elements erode away the rock to where they can be seen.
↓
There are a lot of fossils that we just can’t find because they aren’t exposed and thus we don’t know where to dig.
