Technofossil
A technofossil refers to geological evidence of human technological activity preserved in Earth's strata that will persist for millions of years. These anthropogenic materials form distinctive markers in the geological record, with many geologists, paleobiologists, and environmental researchers stating that they would provide future evidence of humanity's industrial and consumer-oriented civilization. Technofossils represent a significant aspect of the proposed Anthropocene epoch, characterized by humanity's profound geological impact on the planet due to the mass production of synthetic resources, modified biological remains, and chemical or radioactive markers. Concept The term "technofossil", first coined in 2014, describes manufactured or modified materials that possess sufficient durability to persist in Earth's geological record for millions of years. Unlike traditional biological fossils, technofossils result from human technological processes rather than natural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Technofossils represent a significant aspect of the proposed Anthropocene epoch, characterized by humanity's profound geological impact on the planet due to the mass production of synthetic resources, modified biological remains, and chemical or Isotopic labeling, radioactive markers.
