“…However, neither scheme is supported by the latest chronostratigraphic data (Z. S. Li, Jia, et al, 2020; Su, 2016; H. Zhang et al, 2019; Zhu et al, 2020). The provenance areas of the Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic strata in Lushi–Luanchuan and Mianchi–Queshan subregions were located in the north and south, respectively (G. H. Hu, Zhao, & Zhou, 2014; X. Y. Li, Li, et al, 2020; M. Li, Wang, & Wang, 2013; X. F. Liu et al, 2019; M. Wang et al, 2020a; M. Wang, Zhou, & Zhang, 2020b; Yue & Liu, 2017; Zhu et al, 2011; Zhu, Qiu, Pang, & Zhai, 2019; Zuo, Li, Zhang, et al, 2019), indicating that the Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic palaeogeographic patterns of the XER were remarkably different. Similar provenance transition is obtained in the Wufoshan Group of the Song–Ji subregion from the subsequent provenance analysis, indicative of comparable sedimentary sequences and basin evolution among three subregions of the XER.…”

“…The unconformably overlying Luanchuan Group comprises metamorphic clastic and carbonate sediments of coastal–neritic facies, intercalated with alkaline volcanic rocks at the top, and is subdivided into the Sanchuan, Nannihu, Meiyaogou, Dahongkou, and Yuku formations. Unconformably overlying the Luanchuan Group, the Early Palaeozoic Taowan Group primarily consists of metaclastics deposited in a deep‐water slope environment (Z. S. Li, Jia, et al, 2020; Zuo et al, 2019).…”

“…The Sanjiaotang Formation contains quartz sandstones and siltstones with parallel bedding and cross‐bedding deposited in the shallow marine environment. The Luoyukou Formation contains shales and siltstones in the lower member, and stromatolitic dolostones and tuff interlayers in the upper member, deposited in shallow marine to ramp/restricted carbonate platform environments (B. D. Guan et al, 1988; X. Y. Li, Li, et al, 2020; Zuo, Li, Zhang, et al, 2019). Both the Huanglianduo and Dongjia formations of coastal–neritic–tide flat facies are in parallel unconformity with the underlying and overlying strata.…”

“…The Bingmagou Formation is only outcropped near Bingmagou Village and equivalent to the Xiaogoubei Formation of the Mianchi–Queshan subregion (B. D. Guan et al, 1988). The ages of the Wufoshan Group and Hongling Formation have not been precisely constrained yet, but have been considered as Meso‐Neoproterozoic eras (G. H. Hu et al, 2012; Yue et al, 2020; Zuo, Li, Zhang, et al, 2019) or Mesoproterozoic Changcheng system (Su, 2016) in recent studies.…”

“…The Puyu Formation is characterized by variegated shales and siltstones. The Luotuopan Formation consists of quartz sandstones and sandstone–conglomerates, disconformably underlying the Puyu Formation (Suo & Wen, 2004; Yue et al, 2020; Zuo, Li, Zhang, et al, 2019). The Hejiazhai Formation is composed of fine sandstones, shales, thin‐bedded limestones, and stromatolitic limestones, and it is in parallel unconformity with the overlying Cambrian Xinji Formation or fault contact with the overlying Hongling Formation.…”

The Late Precambrian Wufoshan Group from the southern North China Craton (NCC) is significant for its contribution to our understanding of the Precambrian evolution of the NCC, which consists of the Lower Ma'anshan, Upper Ma'anshan, Puyu, Luotuopan, and Hejiazhai formations. Detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Lu–Hf isotopes from the Puyu, Luotuopan, and Hejiazhai formations are used in this study to constrain the depositional age and provenance of the Wufoshan Group and crustal evolution of the NCC. The Puyu Formation is characterized by detrital zircon U–Pb age populations of ~2.13 Ga and ~2.50 Ga, similar to the Lower–Upper Ma'anshan formations from the literature. The Luotuopan Formation exhibits age populations of 1.85–2.18 Ga and 2.28–2.98 Ga, with mainly negative εHf(t) values and scattered positive εHf(t) values clustering at two groups of 2.48–2.52 Ga and 2.64–2.97 Ga. The Hejiazhai Formation displays age populations of 0.98–2.00 Ga and 2.51–2.79 Ga with mainly positive εHf(t) values, whose depositional age is constrained as Neoproterozoic era by the youngest graphical detrital zircon age of 976 ± 20 Ma. Provenance studies indicate that the Mesoproterozoic Lower–Upper Ma'anshan and Puyu formations were sourced from the middle Trans‐North China Orogen (TNCO), while the Neoproterozoic Luotuopan and Hejiazhai formations were derived from the southern TNCO and the North Qinling Terrane, respectively. The clastic rock series in the southern NCC is divided into Luotuopan type and Hejiazhai type by detrital zircon U–Pb age pattern and Hf isotopic characteristics, suggesting Late Mesoarchean to Early Palaeoproterozoic (2.47–2.97 Ga) crustal growth in the interior NCC, and Late Palaeoproterozoic to Early Neoproterozoic (0.98–2.08 Ga) crustal growth in the marginal NCC. The crustal evolution of the NCC can be classified into three stages, namely >3.0 Ga continental nuclei generation, the Meso‐Neoarchean massive growth, and the Palaeo‐Mesoproterozoic interior reworking and marginal growth.

U–Pb dating of detrital zircon is widely used in geology to identify the source of sediments and constrain palaeogeography and tectonic history. We collected the detrital zircon from the Paleoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic strata to understand the North China Craton's geological chronological characteristics. After screening and sorting out data information, we managed and analysed 84 papers from 2006 to 2022. Three hundred seventy‐nine samples comprising 29,431 pieces of U–Pb ages of detrital zircons gathered from the Proterozoic to Ordovician sedimentary rocks in North China Craton (NCC). Detrital zircons within five areas in the NCC, i. e., Xuhuai Basin, Zhaertai‐Bayan Obo‐Huade Basin, Yanliao Basin, Xiong'er Basin and Alxa Block, are discussed in detail. Meanwhile, we collected 2,588 pieces of Lu‐Hf detrital zircon data in the study. This Database can be helpful in understanding and explaining the tectonic evolution of the NCC from the Paleoproterozoic to the Early Palaeozoic.

The Qinling‐Dabie‐Sulu orogen is the eastern part of the Central China Orogenic Belt. Looking back on previous studies of the sedimentary record we systematically compiled the dataset of detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes for this orogenic belt. The dataset incorporates a comprehensive compilation of 32,449 detrital zircon U–Pb ages and 979 Hf isotopes. The findings demonstrate that distinct tectonic units within the orogenic belt exhibit unique tectonic evolution histories during various geological epochs. This dataset can be used to constrain the tectonic framework and orogenic evolution including ocean subduction, continental collision and orogen exhumation. It can be integrated with other geological datasets to improve our understanding of the Central Orogenic Belt in China, and possibly plate tectonics globally.
