Paleozoic Granitoid and Migmatite Geochemical Data from South China

Original U-Th-Pb age, Lu-Hf isotopic, and whole-rock geochemical data for unmelted protolith, migmatites, and pegmatite veins from central Wuyishan, South China. The dataset includes summary tables of crystallization ages and zircon εHf(t) values for Paleozoic granitoids and migmatites across South China. It was authored by Yujia Xin and last updated on May 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling crustal differentiation processes based on whole-rock geochemical data.
• Reconstructing Paleozoic tectonic transitions based on zircon U-Th-Pb age and εHf(t) values.
• Investigating intracrustal recycling through comparative analysis of protolith, migmatite, and pegmatite vein data.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data types: original age, isotopic, and geochemical data.
• Data is structured in separate summary tables for crystallization ages and isotopic values.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 788.9 KB file size suggests a limited scope of data points.
