“…The Precambrian rocks in the ATB have long been considered as Neoarchean to Early Paleoproterozoic in age and represent the western extension of the NCC, either a part of the Yinshan Block or the Khondalite Belt (Geng et al, ; J. X. Zhang et al, ; Zhao & Cawood, ). However, the discovery of Neoproterozoic magmatism in the ATB and comparable detrital zircon age spectra to the South China Craton spurred some authors to propose that the Precambrian basement of the ATB was independent from the NCC (e.g., Dan, Li, Wang, Wang, et al, ; J. Zhang, Zhang, et al, ). Despite of these debates, the basement rocks are regarded to have been extensively overprinted by Permian tectonothermal events related to the orogenic processes of the CAOB as revealed by muscovite 40 Ar‐ 39 Ar and zircon U‐Pb dating on metamorphic and deformed rocks (Geng & Zhou, ).…”

“…1). The Alashan (also called Alxa) Terrane has been treated as a doubtful part of the SKC in most Ordovician tectonic reconstructions, as its palaeogeographic position during the Early Palaeozoic is still hotly debated (Zhang et al, 2014). Based on evidence from Carboniferous and Permian palaeomagnetic results, Yuan and Yang (2014) indicated that it did not amalgamate with the SKC until late Permian time, but Wu and Min (2015) argued that it merged with the SKC in the Dapingian (Middle Ordovician).…”

“…Yuan and Yang () reported the detrital zircon ages from the Shixiagou Formation sandstone of the middle Devonian and the Zhongning Formation sandstone of the upper Devonian in the eastern AB and constructed the relative probability diagram shown in Figure b, where there are two major age peaks at ~474 and ~999 Ma, and one moderate age peak at ~2,491 Ma. Zhang et al () reported the detrital zircon ages from the Xiangshan group sandstone of the middle‐upper Cambrian in the south‐eastern AB and constructed the relative probability diagram shown in Figure c, where there is one major age peak at ~964 Ma, and two moderate age peaks at ~2,517 and ~551 Ma. Darby and Gehrels () reported the detrital zircon ages from the sandstone of strata from the Proterozoic to Ordovician in the western Ordos Block and constructed the relative probability diagram shown in Figure d, where there are two major age peaks at ~1,999 and ~2,665 Ma.…”
