Response to Dr Alan Goode's ‘Discussion’ of Morris & Kneeshaw (2011)

We thank Dr Goode for drawing our attention to the ‘overlooked key observation’ in our paper: silica transfer from Hamersley iron ore sites by hydrothermal activity to the Pinjian Chert Breccia of the Oakover Basin in the NE Pilbara. As far as we are aware, this has not been offered previously as a solution to the hydrothermal silica problem, and we are thus glad to discuss its implications, but first we need to clarify some earlier points in his Discussion.
