Zusammenfassung |
Stone tool-making is a reductive process. Synthetic rock
manufacturing, preeminently an additive process, will not for-ever be
confined to only the Earth-biosphere. This brief focuses on humanity's
ancient past, hodiernal and possible future even more massive than
present-day creation of artificial rocks within our exploitable Solar
System. It is mostly Earth-centric account that expands the factual
generalities underlying the unique non-copyrighted systemic technogenic rock
classification first publicly presented (to the American Geological Society)
during 2001, by its sole intellectual innovator, James Ross Underwood, Jr.
His pioneering, unique exposition of an organization of this
ever-increasingly important aspect of the Anthropic Rock story, spatially
expansive material lithification, here is given an amplified discussion for
the broader geo and space science social group-purpose of encouragement of a
completer 21st Century treatment of Underwood's explicative
subject-chart (Fig. 2). |
