Article Abstract:
The 'sinking intrusion model' proposed by H.K. Brueckner suggests the possibility that the denser peridotites in the mantle edge can become unstable when hydrated or heated. The event, by which the deposition of a massif garnet peridotite in continental collision zones is explained, does not take into consideration the instability of pargasitic amphibole + chlorite at mantle temperatures and pressures in garnet peridotites.

Article Abstract:
The evidences presented in the article criticized by Kindler and Strasser are consistent with the claims of rapid sea-level changes and catastrophic weather variation during the most recent interglacial period. Observations gleaned from coral reefs, sedimentary environments, notching, fossils, buried sea cliffs, among others support these claims although there are some isolated features which show inconsistencies.
