The Dataset of Zircon Geochronological & Geochemical Testing of Qingyuan Complex in Northern Liaoning Province

The dataset of zircon geochronological testing of Qingyuan Complex in northern LiaoningProvince gets its name from rock testing and analysis activities, which have been carried out with the financial support of the Global Correlation of Asia’s Neoarchean Strata project. The dataset is based on the Compilation of Asian Serial Geological Maps and Research of Related Major Geological Thematic Issues. The zircon chronological data precisely reflects the protolith’s genetic epochs and the subsequent tectonic-magmatic events. Meanwhile, the lithogeochemical data reflects the chemical features of the rocks themselves. The combination of aforementioned two types of data provides scientific evidences and basic data support for the study of crustal evolution in the Northern Liaoning Province. This paper has analyzed the rock samples from the mid-to-high grade metamorphic epicrustal rocks and the quartz-dioritic–oligoclase-granitic–granodioritic gneiss units in the Qingyuan Complex in Northern Liaoning Province. Therein, the rock types include gneissoid granodiorite, tonalitic gneiss, oligoclase-granitic gneiss, granodioritic migmatitic gneiss, diopside-amphibolitic granulite, amphibolitic biotite plagioclase gneiss, gneissoid charnockite granite, garnet charnockite biotite plagioclase gneiss, granitic gneiss, amphibolitic diopside biotite plagioclase gneiss, intermediate volcanic rocks, biotite plagioclase gneiss, plagioclase amphibolite, and sillimanite garnet gneiss. Moreover, this dataset is composed of tables in Excel format, including two .xls files (Zircon_U−Pb dating data_QY.xls and Geochemistry data_QY.xls), which have respectively recorded the zircon U-Pb dating data and the geochemical data of the samples. Furthermore, all the testing process has been carried out at the China National Geological Experiment & Testing Center. The testing results are highly reliable.
