The research, which documents a so-called "rapid anthropoclastic rock cycle," has been reported in the journal Geology. This rock cycle seems to mimic the natural processes of rock formation, but ...

As detailed in a study published April 10 in the journal Geology, the researchers claim to be the first to fully document and date a complete “rapid anthropoclastic rock cycle” on land ...

"However, recent analysis of SuperCam data from nearby similar rocks suggests a composition inconsistent with a meteorite origin," NASA wrote. The research team estimates that Skull Hill is a ...

The researchers have documented for the first time a new "rapid anthropoclastic rock cycle," which mimics natural rock cycles but involves human material over accelerated timescales. They believe ...

Dr Amanda Owen, one of the co-authors of the report, said: “For a couple of hundred years, we’ve understood the rock cycle as a natural process that takes thousands to millions of years. “What’s ...

Because these crater floor samples came from igneous rocks forged in lava flows, they can help scientists understand the chemical composition of Mars’s interior, Wadhwa points out. That could ...
