The burial potential of plastic debris is chiefly dependent on the material' s density and abundance, in addition to the depositional environment. Here, we report the appearance of a new “stone” formed through intermingling of melted plastic, beach sediment, basaltic lava fragments, and organic debris from Kamilo Beach on the island of Hawaii. The material, herein referred to as “plastiglomerate, ” is divided into in situ and clastic types that were distributed over all areas of the beach. 2, record 1, English, - plastiglomerate

A clinoform is a seaward-dipping surface of a prograding sediment body that consists of a gently dipping topset, a steeply dipping foreset, and a gently dipping bottomset. The topset consists of fluvial and subaqueous environments coupled at the shoreline. Clinoforms are ubiquitous in modern depositional systems and are the fundamental constructional units of stratigraphic sequences. 3, record 4, English, - clinoform
