This data set includes major and trace data of whole rock, chemical data of amphibole plagioclase, zircon u-pb-hf isotope data and amphibole Ar isotope data of amphibolite and epidote amphibolite in Xilinhot area, Inner Mongolia. The major element data of the whole rock were obtained by XRF analysis, the trace element data by ICP-MS analysis, the chemical data of hornblende plagioclase minerals by EPMS analysis, the zircon U-Pb isotope data by LA-ICP-MS analysis, the zircon Hf isotope data by mc-la-icp-ms analysis, and the hornblende ar Ar isotope data by gv-5400 mass spectrometer. The above data were obtained in 2017 and published in gsab, a top international geoscience journal. The data are true and reliable. Through this set of data, we can analyze the characteristics of magma source area, understand the regional metamorphism events, and improve the Paleozoic tectonic evolution framework of the Central Asian orogenic belt.

File naming and required software

Naming method of data file: data is stored in Excel file. The major and trace elements are named "2017 WR data", the chemical data of amphibole plagioclase are named "Hb-Pl chemical composition", the zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic data are named "Zrn U-Pb-Hf isotope", and the amphibole ar ar isotopic data are named "Hb Ar-Ar data".
How to use data: data sets can be directly opened and used in Excel workbooks.
