Introduction
This auxiliary material data set contains the analytical methods of modal analyses, major and trace
element geochemical analyses, LA-ICPMS zircon U-Pb analyses and zircon Hf isotopic analyses
for the representative Xingfuzhilu sandstone samples from southern Inner Mongolia, China, four
tables for analytical results and three figures for microphotopraphs, cathodoluminescence (CL)
images and La/Th vs. Hf diagram and. The analytical methods are given in the file "text01.pdf ".
Results of framework modes of the Linxi and the Xingfuzhilu Formation sandstones, Chemical
compositions of Xingfuzhilu Formation sandstones, detrital zircon LA-ICPMS U-Pb and Lu-Hf
isotope are given in the tables “ts01.pdf”, “ts02.pdf”, “ts03.pdf” and “ts04.pdf”, respectively.
Microphotopraphs of the Xingfuzhilu sandstones, Cathodoluminescence (CL) images of
representative zircon grains and La/Th vs. Hf diagram are presented in the figures “fs01.pdf”,
“fs02.pdf” and “fs03.pdf”, respectively.
