Reply to the comment of Anan et al. on "Palynological, palaeoenvironmental and sequence stratigraphical analyses of a Turonian-Coniacian sequence, Beni Suef Basin, Eastern Desert, Egypt: Implication of Pediastrum rhythmic signature by Tahoun et al. (2017)

Moreover, Anan et al. (2018) tried to flatten the conclusion made by Tahoun et al. (2017) by underestimating its sounding Pediastrum rhythmic signature-based results. Anan et al. (Op. cit.) also tried to bend the clear fact that our ideas differ from that of El Atfy et al. (2017) to look as it was their own, which is not true. Therefore, we encourage the palynologists community to read critically the work of Tahoun et al. (2017) and the work defended by Anan et al. (2018) and their allegations to confidently scrutinize the aims, data quality, and approaches presented therein to come up with an independent judgment. A detailed reply to allegations and comments of Anan et al. (Op. cit.) are handled in the forthcoming sections.
