Abstract
We reply to the comments of Beccaluva et al. (2013) on the paper “A crustal-upper mantle model for southeastern Sicily (Italy) from the integration of petrologic and geophysical data” by Manuella et al.(2013). We entirely reject their speculative comments and strongly confirm our viewpoint on the aged oceanic nature of the lithospheric basement of southeastern Sicily and its offshore area.
