40Ar-39Ar age data set of biotite from Xuefengshan, South China (240 Ma-80 Ma)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data are 40Ar-39Ar ages of biotite from the Miaoershan dome in Xuefeng mountain, South China. Mica schist was collected in the field, and then the rock samples were cleaned and crushed, and then biotite particles were selected by hand under the binocular microscope. The experiments were carried out in 40Ar / 39Ar and U-Th / he laboratories of the Key Laboratory of Geology and Geophysics, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Firstly, the high-resolution 40Ar / 39Ar of mm5400 mass spectrometer was measured, and then the original data was further processed by the plug-in ararcalc of Excel software. The data provide chronological support for the collapse process and dynamic mechanism of Triassic Xuefengshan plateau.

The above data have been published in Tectonophysics, and the data are true and reliable.

File naming and required software

File name: chronological data is stored in Excel, and the name of the file is "2020xfs - 40Ar-39Ar data. Xlsx", in which 2020 represents that the data will be obtained in 2020, XFS represents that the samples are collected in Xuefeng mountain, 40Ar-39Ar data represents that the file is 40Ar-39Ar data, and "2020xfs - 40Ar-39Ar data. Xlsx" represents the 40Ar-39Ar data of Xuefeng mountain.
Usage: the data is in xlsx file format and can be opened directly in Excel
