   INTRODUCTION
 
We have carefully evaluated the comments of our colleagues F. Finger and M. René and we appreciate their interest in our work and the opportunity to further clarify our viewpoints. In our paper (Siebel et al., 2008Go) we presented detailed geochemical and geochronological analyses of mainly crustal-derived late Variscan granites (328–321 Ma) from the Bavarian Forest, Moldanubian unit, Bohemian Massif. As an important observation, a high Ca–Sr–Y granite suite south of the Pfahl zone was distinguished from a low Ca–Sr–Y granite suite to the north of this zone; this difference is clearly reflected in the Sr and Nd isotopic signatures of the granites (Siebel et al., 2008Go, fig. 8). From these findings we concluded that the Bavarian Forest is made up of two different crustal blocks. We further concluded that the Bavarian Pfahl shear zone represents a terrane boundary within the Moldanubian unit. Our study supports the terrane-based division of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
