Abstract
The article presents a reply to the letter from M. F. Pereira and colleagues where they claimed that turbidites of the Mertola and the Mira formations of the Baixo Alentejo Flysch Group of the South Portuguese Zone were derived from a source terrane dominated by zircon populations of Middle-Late Devonian ages. Topics discussed include the significant decrease in the abundance of Middle-Late Devonian detrital zircons and the cause of the turbiditic deposition in the South Portuguese Zone.
