Reply to Comment on “Revisiting the Dom Feliciano Belt and surrounding areas – An integrated geophysical and isotope geology approach”
Abstract
This Reply addresses the Comment by De Toni (EARTH-D-25-01160) on our article “Revisiting the Dom Feliciano Belt and surrounding areas – An integrated geophysical and isotope geology approach” (Teixeira et al., 2025). We respond to points regarding: (1) the use of terrane terminology; (2) methodological differences in aerogeophysical interpretations; (3) the structural continuity between the Dorsal de Canguçu and Major Gercino Shear Zones; and (4) the nature of Ediacaran magmatic arcs. We maintain that the integrated geophysical and geochronological evidence presented in our original work provides a robust framework for understanding the complex tectonic evolution of southwestern Gondwana.
