"First, in order to make an important discovery in science, it is essential to be in the right place at the right time."  [Jack Oliver, in Oreskes, 2001, p.162 talking about his experience, and the  development of Plate Tectonics.]


Fig.1.  Selfie :=: 1968 ("When I wore a younger man's clothes"). Memory Lane - Morrison and me. Early morning, tide out, meeting Morrison and William departing Durness for Dornoch. [Morrison's pal, William, with an eye for a picture, took the shot. (Looking southwest along the Kyle of Durness.)]


My hopeful contribution to the downfall of Plate Tectonics lies in recognising two things :-
  1. The importance of boudinage structure as a control on the location and formation of ore deposits (identifying areas that are more likely to be mineralised than others).
  2. Its use at crustal scales as a framework for understanding global deformation.
 


 Fig.3.  Beginning at the beginning :=: right time, right place.  (My very nice thesis area; Rispond, Durness, Northwest Scotland.)
