Réplica aos comentários de Assine et al. (Discussão do artigo “Aptian/Albian (Early Cretaceous) paleogeography of the South Atlantic: a paleontological perspective” de M. Arai)

Resumo

I appreciate the comments from Mário Luis Assine and his co-authors (Assine et al. 2016), because scientific progress often occurs through forthright comments such as these. However, I would like to emphasize that “non-paleontologist specialists must accept paleontological data, even these data were apparently controversial, and must look for compatible explanation within their skills” (Arai 2011, p. 343 and 351).
