Detrital zircon U–Pb–Hf data from Cambrian sandstones of the Ougarta Mountains Algeria: Implication for palaeoenvironment

We report new detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopic signatures of detrital zircons in Cambrian sedimentary rocks from the Ougarta Mountains of Algeria in the West African Craton (WAC) in order to provide constraints on the palaeo‐catchments of the Early Palaeozoic river systems draining Gondwana. The Cambrian sedimentary samples from the Ougarta Mountains have near‐identical age spectra with a dominant age peak at 618 Ma and an additional...
