The "Great Acceleration" of the mid-20th century provides causal mechanism Anthropocene, which has been proposed as a new epoch geological time beginning in 1952 CE. Here we identify key parameters and their diagnostic palaeontological signals including rapid breakdown discrete biogeographical ranges for marine terrestrial species, changes to ecologies resulting from climate change ecological degradation, spread exotic foodstuffs beyond range, accumulation reconfigured forest materials such medium density fibreboard (MDF) all being symptoms Great Acceleration. We show: 1) how Anthropocene successions North America, South Africa, Oceania, Europe, Asia can be correlated using signatures highly invasive species that demonstrate growing interconnectivity human systems; 2) unique depositional settings landfills may concentrate remains organisms far geographical range environmental tolerance; 3) preserve long-lived, record within post-mid-20th deposits. Collectively these provide global signature is distinct past records deep-time biotic change, those Holocene.

Abstract Marine functional connectivity (MFC) refers to the flows of organic matter, genes, and energy that are caused by active passive movements marine organisms. Occurring at various temporal spatial scales, MFC is a dynamic, constantly evolving global ecological process, part overall connectivity, but with its own distinct specific patterns. Geological historical archives changes in distributions, life histories, migration species can provide baselines for deciphering long-term trends (decadal millions years) variability MFC. In this food-for-thought paper, we identify different types geohistorical data be used study past We propose resources available such work. Finally, offer roadmap outlining most appropriate approaches analysing interpreting these data, biases limitations involved, what consider primary themes future research field. Overall, demonstrate how, despite differences norms between disciplines, valuable on societal change extracted from geological archives, understand through time.
