“…The S-wave velocities of the exhumed mantle rocks can be estimated either from their magnetic properties, which are dependent upon their degree of serpentinization (e.g., Maffione et al, 2014;Oufi et al, 2002), or from their densities (e.g., Christensen, 1996Christensen, , 2004Carlson & Miller, 2003). However, there are some inconsistences between the magnetic properties and the densities employed by the authors of the exhumed mantle model (see the comment by Pedreira et al, 2018), so we derived two 1D shear velocity models to use as starting models: one from the magnetic model by (Pedrera et al, 2017(Pedrera et al, , 2018 S1 and S2 in the supporting information). We then used these models as initial solutions in a nonlinear inversion of the phase velocities compiled at node 1575, which is located above the mantle uplift zone proposed by these authors.…”
