We disagree with many of the concerns raised by Font et al., (2017) and take this opportunity to clarify matters. We wish to emphasise that in our paper (Korbar et al., 2017), as well as in the first report on the “potential” Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) tsunami in the Adriatic region (Korbar et al., 2015), we reported on rare shallow marine distal K–Pg records that differ from the dominantly deep marine records commonly reported in other papers. We did not include more references on the latter, since that was not a goal of our paper, and we encourage the authors of the Comment themselves to make additional research of the Likva section, especially the issues that are criticised.
