Provenance and crustal evolution of the northern Yangtze block revealed by detrital zircons from neoproterozoic-early paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the Yangtze Gorges area, South China

Detrital zircon U-Pb ages of six sedimentary rocks in the northern Yangtze Block reveal three major age groups of 740-890 Ma, 1.9-2.1 Ga, and 2.4-2.55 Ga and two minor groups of 2.6-2.7 and 2.9-3.1 Ga. Although Lu-Hf isotope analysis suggest both juvenile crustal growth and reworking of old crust fo...
