Middle–Late Triassic sedimentary provenance of the southern Junggar Basin and its link with the post-orogenic tectonic evolution of Central Asia

Abstract Due to the unknown Triassic volcanism in the Junggar Basin, the Middle–Late Triassic sedimentary provenance in the southern Junggar Basin (SJB) has long been controversial. Detrital zircon grains from 13 samples of the Middle–Upper Triassic Xiaoquangou Group in the SJB were analyzed using z...
