Abstract
The comments by Kietzmann & Iglesia Llanos (Comment on “Tethyan calpionellids in the Neuquén Basin (Argentine Andes), their significance in defining the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary and pathways for Tethyan-Eastern Pacific connections” by R. López-Martínez, B. Aguirre-Urreta, M. Lescano, A. Concheyro, V. Vennari and V. Ramos) on our paper published in the Journal of South American Earth Sciences 78 (2017): 116-125, provide a worthy opportunity to further clarify our observations and interpretations regarding the importance of precise biostratigraphic studies in the definition of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary in the Argentine Andes. These include the calpionellids as primary markers, the classic and widespread nannofossils bioevents as secondary markers, together with a detailed ammonite zonation.
