The Silurian Hypothesis: Would it be possible to detect an industrial civilization in the geological record?

Despite referring specifically to the Dr. Who episode, this is a serious attempt to determine what the geological evidence of an industrial civilization like our own might look like from millions of years in the future. The short answer: very similar to multiple events in the current geological record, though it should be possible to devise tests that would make the distinction.

From a gaming perspective, the events the paper lists are prime fodder for the origin of Out of Place Artifacts and Things Man Was Not Meant To Know.
