Reply to Genç and Yürür's comments on: "Late Cretaceous extensional denudation along a marble detachment fault zone in the Kirşehir massif near Kaman, Central Turkey"

Abstract

Two of the criticisms made by Genç and Yürür criticized Lefebvre et al. (2011) for not referring to their own previous work. In those cases, we have explained here why we decided not to do so. The other scientific comments mainly concerned issues that Genç and Yürür may have misunderstood and we have taken the opportunity to clarify these in this reply. We note that whilst Genç and Yürür commented on our paper, we infer that they agree with our main conclusion that the Kaman fault is an extensional detachment
