This data set mainly includes the whole rock major and trace, zircon U-Pb-Hf isotope data and biotite Ar-Ar chronology data of paragneiss in Xilinhot area, Inner Mongolia. The samples are collected from Xilinguole complex, including biotite plagioclase gneiss, two mica plagioclase gneiss and sericite plagioclase gneiss. The major elements of the whole rock were obtained by XRF analysis, trace elements by ICP-MS analysis, zircon U-Pb isotope data by LA-ICPMS analysis, zircon Hf isotope data by MC-ICPMS analysis, biotite Ar -Ar data by GV-5400 mass spectrometer analysis. The above data have been published in the international well-known journal Gondwana research, and the data are authentic. Through this set of data, we can effectively identify the fore arc sedimentary basin system of the South Mongolia micro block, constrain the rock formation age and material source, and indicate the tectonic affinity of the South Mongolia micro block.

File naming and required software

File naming: geochemical data is stored in Excel format, whole rock geochemical data is named "2017-WR data", zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopic geochemical data is named "Zrn U-Pb-Hf data", and biotite ar ar isotopic geochemical data is named "Bt Ar-Ar data".
Data reading mode: the data set can be directly opened and read in Excel.
