Reply to the comment by Zhang et al.on:'First finding of A-type and adakitic magmatism association in Songpan-Garze fold belt,eastern Tibetan Plateau:Implication for lithospheric delamination'

摘要

We greatly thank Zhang et al.(2008-this issue)for their comments on our recent paper(Zhang et al.,2007)regarding the tectonic setting of the Indosinian granitoids in the Songpan-Garze fold belt,as it gives us an opportunity to further clarify our viewpoints.The discrepancy between Zhang et al.(2008-this issue)and Zhang et al.(2007)is focused on the interpretation of the tectonic setting of the Indosinian A-type granite(211±1 Ma)and adakitic magmatism(216-221 Ma)in the Songpan-Garze fold belt.
