Brief Explanations
In undisturbed sedimentary rock sequences, the principle of superposition states that younger layers are deposited on top of older layers. The dinosaur footprint is in a layer above the wood - containing layer (since the "shallower" direction is upward, meaning higher layers are younger). So the dinosaur footprint fossil is younger.
