A response from Marco Brandano and colleagues to a discussion by Peter A. Gatt of the article "Facies analysis and palaeoenvironmental interpretation of the Late Oligocene Attard Member (Lower Coralline Limestone Formation), Malta" is presented. Gatt says that the Attard Member includes coral biostomes dominated by micrite deposited in shallow marine where rhodoliths are absent. In response, the authors say that no coral biostromes were observed within the measured section outcrops.
