  • In this study, 120 detrital zircons from the sandstone at the top of the Liantuo Formation in the Huangniuyan Section of the Three Gorges area were measured for U-Pb dating and Lu-Hf isotopic compositions. The U-Pb ages of the zircons from the Huangniuyan Section cluster at~800-880 Ma, ~2 000 Ma, ~2 500 Ma, ~2 700 Ma, among which the youngest zircon age is 724±8 Ma. According to the previous geochronological study of tuff on the top of the Liantuo Formation, the sedimentary age of the sandstone in the upper most part of the Liantuo Formation is limited to~724-714 Ma. The sedimentary time of the Liantuo sandstone is close to the U-Pb age of the youngest detrital zircon, which may reflect a rapid recycling of crustal materials. The Hf isotopic two-stage model ages (TDM2) of zircon are concentrated at~3.7-3.1 Ga, ~2.5-2.0 Ga and~1.3-1.0 Ga, which indicates that the provenance of the sandstone has juvenile crustal growth in the Paleo-Mesoarchean, Paleoproterozoic and Late Mesoproterozoic. By comparing the detrital zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic data from different sections of the Liantuo Formation in the nucleus of the Yangtze craton reported in recent years, it is suggested that the Huangniuyan Section has distinct detrital zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions compared with the Wangfenggang Section, revealing different provenance between them.
