13062574, the anthropocene.... will be defined by chicken bones?

that would be pretty funny, but apparently chickens are everywhere
so when we are all dead and gone some later civilization will be wondering why they
are finding chicken bones everywhere


"The new epoch should begin about 1950, the experts said, and was likely to be defined by the radioactive elements dispersed across the planet by nuclear bomb tests, although an array of other signals, including plastic pollution, soot from power stations, concrete, and even the bones left by the global proliferation of the domestic chicken were now under consideration."
