Reply to the comment on “Terrestrial Permian-Triassic boundary in southern China: New stratigraphic, structural and palaeoenvironment considerations” by H. Zhang, Z. Feng, J. Ramezanik, S-Z Shen

In their comment, Zhang et al. (2018) question the existence of the deformation structures that we report for the upper part of the Chahe Permian-Triassic Boundary reference section. These authors further suggest that this deformation contradicts the regional litho, bio- and chemostratigraphic results. Here again, and based on the outcrop picture provided by Zhang et al. (2018), we present new arguments attesting for a major tectonic deformation...
