Scientific paper
I began my undergraduate studies in geology in 1974, shortly after the release of the now famous ``Anonymous'' report on the first Penrose Conference on Ophiolites (Geotimes, 1972). My early geology courses were filled with information on the nature of the seafloor, with details supplied largely from on-land studies of ophiolites. Pillow basalts and sheeted dike complexes, gabbros, peridotites, and cherts-all of these caught my attention and seemed so elegantly explained by formation at oceanic spreading centers. Over the next couple of decades, I simply assumed that ophiolites were direct analogues for material produced at mid-ocean ridges, and I missed the nuances of the ongoing debate about whether or not ophiolites really are representative of this tectonic setting.
