"the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene does not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record and this complicates the detectability of prior terrestrial industrial civilizations in the geological past. We don't expect taxa of intelligent beings to be be represented in the existing fossil record at all, nor of objects surviving. Though we have defined a set of potential physico-chemical tracers that could evidence the existence of previous technological civilizations in the remote past of Sol-3 current analytical means are not developed enough to allow us to identify them incontrovertibly"
