Book Synopsis The Life of Frank Coles Phillips (1902-1982) and the Structural Geology of the Moine Petrofabric Controversy by : Richard John Howarth
Book excerpt: Frank Coles Phillips was a photographer, mineralogist and structural petrologist and was very influential, both in the UK and abroad. He was responsible for encouraging the development of structural geology as a discipline in Australia and for the adoption of the stereogram as a fundamental interpretational tool in structural geology in the UK. Phillips was the first to apply the methods of structural petrology to unravel the complex structural history of the Moine rocks of northwestern Scotland, with controversial results.
