Abstract 'Discarded' tells the story of the fossils we will leave as relics into the far future. It explores how the things we now so abundantly produce and discard - plastic bottles, mobile phones, concrete flyways, chicken bones, aluminum cans and many more ' might alter with burial and petrify, to become future geology.
