ichnology - n., the branch of paleontology that deals with fossilized footprints.
And tracks, burrows, and other traces of motion. The guy who looks at the tracks and tell you how fast the T. Rex was running when he passed through the mud -- he's an ichnologist. From Greek ikhnos, footprint + -ology.
