Trackways are preserved paths or trails left by animals, often found in sedimentary rock or fossilized ground. These tracks provide valuable information about the behavior, movement, and interactions of ancient creatures, including dinosaurs. Scientists study trackways to understand how these animals lived and traveled in their environments. The study of trackways is known as ichnology, a branch of paleontology. By analyzing the size, shape, and arrangement of the tracks, researchers can infer details about the species that made them, such as their speed and social behavior. Trackways can also reveal information about the ecosystems in which these animals existed.
