“…DZ U‐Pb‐He double dating has been shown to increase the robustness and resolution of DZ U‐Pb provenance analysis by combining U‐Pb crystallization ages and (U‐Th)/He cooling ages (ZHe) from individual DZ crystals, refining the identification of potential sources and constraining their thermal evolution (e.g. Campbell, Reiners, Allen, Nicolescu, & Upadhyay, ; Carrapa, DeCelles, Reiners, Gehrels, & Sudo, ; Dias et al, ; Fildani et al, ; Filleaudeau, Mouthereau, & Pik, ; Fosdick et al, ; Odlum et al, in ; Pujols, Leva López, Stockli, Rossi, & Steel, ; Rahl, Reiners, Campbell, Nicolescu, & Allen, ; Reiners, ; Reiners et al, ; Thomson et al, ; Wang, Campbell, Reiners, & Allen, ; Xu, Stockli, & Snedden, ). This approach has the potential to refine source identification by alleviating some limitations related to sediment recycling and non‐diagnostic U‐Pb ages in source regions (e.g.…”

This study constrains the sediment provenance for the Late Cretaceous-Eocene strata of the Ager Basin, Spain, and reconstructs the interplay between foreland basin subsidence and sediment routing within the south-central Pyrenean foreland basin during the early phases of crustal shortening using detrital zircon (DZ) U-Pb-He double dating. Here we present and interpret 837 new DZ U-Pb ages, 113 of which are new DZ (U-Th)/He double-dated zircons. U-Pb-He double dating results allow for a clear differentiation between different foreland and hinterland sources of Variscan zircons (280-350 Ma) by leveraging the contrasting thermal histories of the Ebro Massif and Pyrenean orogen, recorded by the zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) ages, despite their indistinguishable U-Pb age signatures. Cretaceous-Paleocene sedimentary rocks, dominated by Variscan DZ U-Pb age components with Permian-Triassic (200-300 Ma) ZHe cooling ages, were sourced from the Ebro Massif south of the Ager Basin. A provenance shift occurred at the base of the Early Eocene Baronia Formation (ca. 53 Ma) to an eastern Pyrenean source (north-east of the Ager Basin) as evidenced by an abrupt change in paleocurrents, a change in DZ U-Pb signatures to age distributions dominated by Cambro-Silurian (420-520 Ma), Cadomian (520-700 Ma), and Proterozoic-Archean (>700 Ma) age components, and the prominent emergence of Cretaceous-Paleogene (<90 Ma) ZHe cooling ages. The Eocene Corçà Formation (ca. 50 Ma), characterized by the arrival of fully reset ZHe ages with very short lag times, signals the accumulation of sediment derived from the rapidly exhuming Pyrenean thrust sheets. While ZHe ages from the Corçà Formation are fully reset, zircon fission track (ZFT) ages preserve older inherited cooling ages, bracketing the exhumation level within the thrust sheets to ca. 6-8 km in the Early Eocene. These DZ ZHe ages yield exhumation rate estimates of ca. 0.03 km/Myr during the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene for the Ebro Massif and ca. 0.2-0.4 km/Myr during the Eocene for the eastern Pyrenees.

“…Detrital zircon fission-track and U-Pb double dating represents a particularly effective thermo-and geochronometer combination, given that the low (240±30°C) and high (>700°C) temperature sensitivity windows of these systems and the abundance of zircon as an accessory mineral in many igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks (Carter and Bristow, 2000;Bernet and Garver, 2005;Bernet et al, 2006;Carrapa, 2010). Detrital zircon fissiontrack and U-Pb double dating has been proven as a robust method to unravel regional tectonics by integrated analysis of double-dated single zircon grains from each sample (Bernet et al, 2006;Dias et al, 2011Dias et al, , 2018Curvo et al, 2013;Cao et al, 2015).…”

“…During the Late Paleozoic to Middle Triassic, the Ordos Basin was an intracratonic basin with tectonically active margins (Yang et al, 2005(Yang et al, , 2015Liu et al, 2008;Zhu et al, 2013). Although the tectonic activity of majority intracratonic basins is quite weak (Klein and Hsui, 1987;Allen and Armitage, 2012;Pinet et al, 2013), the sediments within intracratonic basins derived from distant tectonically active margins could chronicle long-term crustal evolution of the source terrains, erosion-transport-deposition processes, and postdepositional tectonothermal events, offering invaluable information about regional tectonic evolution (Cawood et al, 2007;Kounov et al, 2013;Guadagnin et al, 2015;Dias et al, 2018). However, little attention has been paid to unravel the tectonic information archived in the sediments of intracratonic basins.…”

“…The U-Pb isotopic system closes at temperatures of >700°C in most zircons (Carrapa, 2010), whereas the ZFT have a closure temperature of 240±30°C in natural systems (Bernet and Garver, 2005). Consequently, combined U-Pb and fissiontrack double dating on single detrital zircon grains could generate complementary crystallization age and thermal evolution information to improve our understanding of the evolution of the source terrains (Carter and Moss, 1999;Carter and Bristow, 2000;Bernet et al, 2006;Shen et al, 2012Shen et al, , 2016Curvo et al, 2013;Cao et al, 2015;Fosdick et al, 2015;Dias et al, 2018).…”

Multi‐dating on the same detrital grains allows for determining multiple different geo‐thermochronological ages simultaneously and thus could provide more details about regional tectonics. In this paper, we carried out detrital zircon fission‐track and U‐Pb double dating on the Permian‐Middle Triassic sediments from the southern Ordos Basin to decipher the tectonic information archived in the sediments of intracratonic basins. The detrital zircon U‐Pb ages and fission‐track ages, together with lag time analyses, indicate that the Permian‐Middle Triassic sediments in the southern Ordos Basin are characterized by multiple provenances. The crystalline basement of the North China Craton (NCC) and recycled materials from pre‐Permian sediments that were ultimately sourced from the basement of the NCC are the primary provenance, while the Permian magmatites in the northern margin of NCC and Early Paleozoic crystalline rocks in Qinling Orogenic Collage act as minor provenance. In addition, the detrital zircon fission‐track age peaks reveal four major tectonothermal events, including the Late Triassic‐Early Jurassic post‐depositional tectonothermal event and three other tectonothermal events associated with source terrains. The Late Triassic‐Early Jurassic (225–179 Ma) tectonothermal event was closely related to the upwelling of deep material and energy beneath the southwestern Ordos Basin due to the coeval northward subduction of the Yangze Block and the following collision of the Yangze Block and the NCC. The Mid‐Late Permian (275–263 Ma) tectonothermal event was associated with coeval denudation in the northern part of the NCC and North Qinling terrane, resulting from the subduction of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean and Tethys Ocean toward the NCC. The Late Devonian‐early Late Carboniferous (348±33 Ma) tectonothermal event corresponded the long‐term denudation in the hinterland and periphery of the NCC because of the arc‐continent collisions in the northern and southern margins of the NCC. The Late Neoproterozoic (813–565 Ma) tectonothermal event was associated with formation of the Great Unconformity within the NCC and may be causally related to the Rodinia supercontinent breakup driven by a large‐scale mantle upwelling.
