Further comment to “Reply to Comment on impact structures in Africa: A review (Short Note)” by Reimold and Koeberl [J. Afr. Earth Sci. 100 (2014) 757–758]

Abstract

In a Comment on Reimold and Koeberl (2014a) to JAES, Acevedo et al. (2014) claimed an impact origin for Bajada del Diablo crater-strewn field (BdD), a remote locality in Central Patagonia. Such genesis had been denied by Reimold and Koeberl (2014a), who rejected its relationship to any impact-cratering process since, in their opinion, Acevedo et al. (2009, 2012, among other papers) had not found direct evidence of impact. Neither Professor Wolf Uwe Reimold nor Professor Christian Koeberl had visited the site nor contacted us before about the nature of our investigations. It would have been nice to exchange information with these researchers, before they so strongly criticized our work, particularly when they have used, unnecessarily, quite offensive and bellicose words, which we believe we do not truly deserve.
