Reply to the Comment on “Discovery of radiolaria from Upper Cretaceous oceanic red beds in Daba, Kangmar and its paleogeographic implication” by Li et al., 2011 [Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 312 (2011) 127-137]

O'Dogherty et al.'s comments on our paper (Luis O'Dogherty, Paulian Dumitrica, Å pela Goričan, Jonathan C. Aitchison, Comment on the species and age determination published by Li et al. “Discovery of radiolaria from Upper Cretaceous oceanic red beds in Daba, Kangmar and its paleogeographic implication” [Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 312 (2011):127-137], Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (2013), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2013.04.002.) make a number of strident criticisms that attempt to cast doubt upon the species and age determination we made in that paper. In this paper, we will give a reply to their main comments on our paper.
