The pieces in this group are inactive, or damaged, and contain no data. They represent the earliest recovered objects showing the development of the post-Scleratinian genomic paradigm that dominated record production in the Anthropocene period as a whole. Using genetic material from corals, lichens and bacteria, these early biocomputers were able to synthesise their data storage media mostly from atmospheric carbon (primarily carbon dioxide), and gained their energy from photosynthesis. This means they are able to grow to accommodate more data over time. These fragments were recovered in the jungles of Zavkhan, Mongolia, although isotope analysis suggests they may have originally grown in, or around, Abakan, Russia.
