Anthropic rock

Anthropic rock is rock that is made, modified and moved by humans. Concrete is the most widely known example of this.[1] The new category has been proposed to recognise that human-made rocks are likely to last for long periods of Earth's future geological time, and will be important in humanity's long-term future.
