Our excessive plastic pollution has
formed a new kind of ‘stone’ that
future scientists can probably use to
track our existence. ‘Plastiglomerate’ is
a durable material that forms when
melted plastic combines with sediment
and natural debris. It’s so dense that it
easily becomes buried, which will
potentially preserve it in the fossil
record of our current time period. Source Source 2
