Detrital zircon geochronology of pre‐Tertiary strata in the Tibetan‐Himalayan orogen

Detrital zircon data have recently become available from many different portions of the Tibetan–Himalayan orogen. This study uses 13,441 new or existing U‐Pb ages of zircon crystals from strata in the Lesser Himalayan, Greater Himalayan, and Tethyan sequences in the Himalaya, the Lhasa, Qiangtang, and Nan Shan–Qilian Shan–Altun Shan terranes in Tibet, and platformal strata of the Tarim craton to constrain changes in provenance through time....
