"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 :-
- 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).
- Its use at crustal scales as a framework for understanding global deformation.
