Apatite (U-Th)/He data from the Nuomuhong region of the East Kunlun Shan. Apatite (U-Th)/He analysis was conducted at the State Key Laboratory of Earthquake Dynamics, Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration using the Australian Scientific Instruments (ASI) Alphachron noble gas mass spectrometer and Agilent 7900 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Reproducibility within each sample were reasonably good. We determine the paleodepth of each sample by measuring the distance perpendicularly from the erosion surface to the sample. All new and published ages are plotted against their paleodepth. The age-paleodepth relationship shows a break in slope at ~25 Ma, which is interpreted to initiation of thrusting at northern margin of the East Kunlun Shan.

File naming and required software

The apatite (U-Th) / he age data in Nomuhong area is stored in word format. The file names are "Table 1 apatite he age data in Nomuhong area of East Kunlun mountain. Docx" and "Table 2 single particle apatite he age data in Nomuhong area of East Kunlun mountain. Docx"
