Abstract
We appreciate the discussion by Atapour and Aftabi (2016) and would like to reply to their comments in detail. Atapour and Aftabi (2016) do not dispute our key findings concerning zircon geochronology, geochemistry, and thermometry. In fact, their criticism is focused on two topics: 1) our geological mapping, which they claim is not robust; 2) that the Hormuz rhyolites are not of the I-type, formed from subduction-related magmatism in an active continental margin setting but rather claim that these rocks are A-type rhyolites formed in a rift-related or within plate setting.
