The data include the location information of 23 seismic stations in Linfen Rift Valley and its surrounding areas and the teleseismic receiver function waveforms. By selecting the 30-90 degree epicentral distance and more than 5.5 earthquake events recorded by 23 high-frequency mobile seismic stations deployed by Institute of Surveying and Geophysics of Chinese Academy of Sciences in November 2017 with observation duration of one month, the radial convergence function is extracted by using the time domain iterative deconvolution method of CPS program. The results show that there are low velocity bodies of different scales in the middle and lower crust of Linfen rift area, and the depth of seismogenic layer increases from ~ 25km to ~ 34km from south to north, which roughly corresponds to the bottom interface of low velocity bodies in the crust; Most of the relocation earthquakes are located in the transition zone between high and low velocity bodies, one of which has a focal depth of 32km. The m7.75 Linfen earthquake is located in the high velocity body, and the M8.0 Hongdong earthquake is located at the bottom of the high velocity body. The uploaded data provide valuable data and information for others to further study the structural characteristics of Linfen Rift Valley and its adjacent areas.
