Are dinosaur footprints are original remains?

No, dinosaur footprints are considered trace fossils, which means they are not the original remains of the animals that made them. Trace fossils are evidence of the activities of animals, such as footprints, burrows, and nests, that have been preserved in the geological record. Dinosaur footprints are formed when the weight of a dinosaur compresses the ground beneath it, leaving an impression that is later filled in with sediment. Over time, these impressions can become fossilized, preserving a record of the dinosaur's movement.
