On this blog we have devoted much space to detailed examinations of the claims by Prof MPP that he knows where one of the bluestone monoliths at Stonehenge came from. Namely, from a little crack in the rock face near the tip of the Rhosyfelin spur, close to the point at which Ixer and Bevins claim to have found their "Jovian fabric" in foliated rhyolite bedrock. Check out these links:

The "monolith extraction point" never did stand up to scrutiny, for a variety of different reasons enumerated in the blog posts -- but so keen was MPP to demonstrate the reliability of his pronouncement that he took samples for cosmogenic dating from this exact location. This was back in 2016.......... Since then there has been complete silence, although the samples must have been analysed long since. If there had been anything in the way of verification, MPP would certainly have published the dates by now, or mentioned them in his lectures. He has done neither. That means that the dates must have falsified his theory -- but why does he not behave like a proper scientist and come clean about it? After all, in the world of academia negative results are as important as positive ones.
Yet another example of how desperately poor is the case of quarrying at Rhosyfelin.

Is it, in fact, that MPP himself is the fantasy? Is he for real? Really?
The samples were never analysed so there are no suppressed data.
The Scottish Reactor did not run them for internal reasons.
Close to libel?
OK God -- we only have your word for it. Tell us who you are, tell us the truth, and put it on the record. The "extraction point" has been exposed as a fantasy long since, so there is nothing new there.
Why would a lab not test samples that were paid for or submitted as part of a research programme? Doesn't make sense.
