This data is the detrital zircon data of the upper Shihezi Formation of the middle and Late Permian on the southwest margin of the North China plate, which is the experimental data. More than 5kg sandstone samples were collected in the field. Zircon was separated from the samples and made targets by heavy liquid and magnetic separation technology. Single grain zircon LA-ICP-MS microanalysis was carried out in the State Key Laboratory of continental dynamics of Northwestern University. The sample collection, pretreatment and experimental process are carried out according to strict standards, and the data quality is reliable. The results show that the zircon ages range from 254 to 2700 Ma, and the main peak ages are ~ 320 Ma, ~ 1765 Ma and ~ 2495 Ma, respectively. Combined with the regional geological background and sedimentological data, it is considered that the peak age of ~ 320mA can come from the northern margin of the North China plate; This also suggests that the paleotopography of the upper Shihezi Formation was high in the north and low in the south. The provenance information reflected by the middle Late Permian detrital zircon data on the southwest margin of the North China plate can provide data support for reconstructing the paleogeography of the North China plate at that time.
