Abstract
In particular, the limited evidence of pre-Miocene deformation on a part of a proto-Eastern Cordillera does not affect our interpretation. In fact, our aim was not to reconstruct the tectonic history of Eastern Cordillera, identifying any pre-Miocene episode. Rather, it was to define the kinematics of the largest structures affecting its recent evolution. Therefore, the interesting structures described by Petrinovic et al., also kinematically poorly constrained, cannot give useful insights, simply because the aim and time frame of our study are different.
