Leaves in turbidite sands: The main source of oil and gas in the deep-water Kutei Basin, Indonesia: Reply
We are glad that Shanmugan has taken time to read and think about our recent article in the AAPG Bulletin. However, the discussion that he has written seems more oriented toward presenting his own sedimentologic ideas than debating whether leaves in deep-water sands can produce viable source rocks, which was the purpose of our article. Nevertheless, we will address some of his questions below.
