So called "rocks" have been discovered by scientists along Hawaii's shorelines.
Plastiglomerates (one form of the "rocks") are from plastic ocean waste, organic materials
and sediment.

Nastiness.
But on the bright side, maybe they could be corralled into breakwaters to hold back the rising tide? :unsure:

I followed your link back, came to a slightly tongue-in cheek, but still serious, journal article here: http://www.geosociet...5173-24-6-4.htm Interesting stuff.  A marker for far-future geologists maybe, marking the Anthropocene epoch.
