From a geological and archaeological perspective, there is no issue. The comment was in regards to addressing the perpetual complaint from the geopolymer proponents that they are not allowed to destructively procure larger sample sizes. Photomicroscopy and related technologies could be utilized to demonstrate not only the range of geological contexts and attributes involved, but also the association of given larger specimens with their geological/quarry origin. Another approach to a well-needed geological education. . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the oddly unscientific aspects of this situation is that the geopolymer proponents would not appear to have performed the extensive literature searches that are, as you are well aware, standard geological/archaeological practice. Can you imagine presenting a paper without reading and incorporating virtually every worthwhile study related to the topic at hand? In the cases of these brief articles, the bibliographies should consume many pages. Edit: Typo. Edited April 18, 2019 by Swede 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have, on record, a number of people on this very forum who have claimed to have been entrusted with secret knowledge by aliens, I say we get them to convince the aliens to use those infamous lasers and sonic rock movers.
