Dear Authors,
based on the reviewers' report and overall assessment of the review process, Your manuscript is potentially suitable for final publication in Solid Earth.

However, further work is necessary to render the manuscript into a proper shape for publication. In particular, the following points need to be fixed when preparing the revised version:
(1) The Introduction section needs to present a more exhaustive description of the scientific rationale and of the geological issue pursued in this study . In other words: why is it important to study these basin? Which the gap of knowledge? which information can they provide at regional scale? Which the expected advancement in the state of knowledge?
(2) A Material and Method section is missing. This section can help the reader to follow the scientific rationale of the study. This section should indicate the available material and the methods (including field work, stratigraphy logging…) adopted to achieve the main aims of the study. Maybe the analytical protocols should be moved to an Appendix, but I leave this to the Authors
(3) Text needs some improvements (see attached commented pdf file)
(4) Figures needs some improvements (see the attached commented pdf file).

I have attached a commented pdf file where these points are detailed (in case clarification is needed in some parts, do not hesitate to contact me).

Based on the above my decision is for a minor/moderate revision


Looking forward to receiving a suitable revised version

Sincerely,

Federico Rossetti

Dear Authors,
Thanks for this further review. Nonetheless, additional work is needed. It mostly concerns the English language and manuscript organisation of the revised sections.
I have provided an annotated pdf file on this regard.

Please check for quality English editing before the re-submission
