Summary

Description
English: (1&2) The melting of plastic waste from campfires or high temperatures on beaches is resulting in the formation of a new type of rock known as plastiglomerate. (3) Formed plastiglomerate merges with surrounding sediment to create a compositionally different sediment layer. (4) The emergence of this new layer is being used as physical evidence of a marker horizon for an Anthropocene Epoch.
