The comment by Finger & Clemens (2002) nicely confirms the statement in the introduction of our paper (Klötzli et al., 2001) on p. 1622: Unravelling the origin of a given granite still requires a major analytical effort and commonly ends in some contradictory results. Finger & Clemens raise a number of issues, both minor and major. We will discuss all of them, as far as they are relevant to the subject. We will start with the problem of nomenclature. After that we will address the problem of remnants of an old crustal component versus a cumulate origin and the problem of the age of the crustal remnants.

Opx- and cpx-bearing Weinsberg type granitoid rocks are widespread in an area of
1520 km2 surrounding the villages of Sarleinsbach, Sprinzenstein and Arnreit in the Southern Bohemian Massif (Klötzli et al., 2001, figs 1 and 2). This | GEOCHRONOLOGY |
