Data of Geochronology and geochemistry of Upper Paleozoic sandstones at Tiekelike, NW China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the southwestern margin of the Tarim Block
Description
Table 1. Sample location of the studied Upper Paleozoic sandstones (QF, KF, and TF) from the Tiekelike Uplift. Table 2. Sample location of the studied sandstones used for zircon U–Pb geochronology. Table 3. Major elements (wt%), trace elements (ppm), REE (ppm) and element ratios of the studied Upper Paleozoic sandstones from the Tiekelike Uplift in comparison to the average compositions of international sediments from references. Table 4. LA–ICP–MS U–Pb isotopic data for detrital zircons from the studied Upper Paleozoic sandstones from the Tiekelike Uplift. Table 5. Detailed explanation of zircon U–Pb ages, Th/U ratios, and zircon morphology and texture for every cluster ages of the QF, KF, and TF, respectively. Table 6. Comparison of elemental ratios of QF, KF, and TF sandstones with similar ratios from felsic rocks, mafic rocks, and upper continental crust. Table 7. Geochronological data of the granitoids, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks from the Tiekelike Tectonic Belt and the Western Kunlun Orogenic Belt.
