Detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology of the Permian strata in the Turpan–Hami Basin in North Xinjiang, NW China: Depositional age, provenance, and tectonic implications

The Permian sedimentary rocks in the Turpan–Hami Basin are key records of the tectonic evolution in the Eastern Tianshan area, although their depositional ages and provenances remain relatively less studied. Here, we conducted detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology on subsurface samples collected from Well LN1 in the Turpan–Hami Basin to understand the depositional ages and provenances of the Permian rocks. In this study, detrital zircon U–Pb ages...
