Reply to the comment on "Geochemistry, Rb-Sr whole rock age and Sr-Nd isotopic constraints on the Variscan A-type granite from Azegour area in the Marrakech High Atlas (Moroccan Meseta) and their geodynamic implications" by Hadani et al. (2024)

We appreciate the comments made by Loudaoued et al. (2024, this issue). This discussion allows us to elucidate some of the key issues raised by these authors (Loudaouedet al. (2024, this issue). Despite the strongly differentiated character of Azegour granitic rock samples, their multi-element patterns reveal many similarities to those of I-type granitoids, which fact has led us to postulate that the parental liquids of A1-type were derived from partial melting of mafic magmas. We have here included additional data related to I-type magmas, taken from Brown (1990), in a comparison of multi-element patterns for the Azegour granite samples (Fig. 1).
