Abstract
The southern boundary of the central segment of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) with the Precambrian Alxa Block is not well constrained due to poor recognition of deep crust. Statistical analysis of zircon xenocrysts within igneous rocks from the northern Alxa and its adjacent regions was applied to resolve this problem. We compiled new and previously published geochronological zircon age data obtained by SHRIMP, SIMS, TIMS, and LA-ICP-MS...
