Anthropic Rocks: a new stage in the rock cycle

 

An anthropic rock is an artificial rock, a rock made by humans. We are surrounded by them, concrete, glass, ceramic. Anthropic rocks are a new rock type in the rock cycle which is the concept that illustrates the transition between sedimentary, igneous metamorphic and now anthropic rocks. The anthropic rocks in this exhibition are emblematic of the geologic age we live in, the Anthropocene.
