Redefinition of depositional ages of Neoarchean supracrustal rocks in western Shandong Province, China: SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating

► We report SHRIMP zircon dating on eighteen samples from the greenstone belt in western Shandong. ► Ages of detrital and volcanic zircons vary from 2.75 to 2.54 Ga and 2.55 to 2.525 Ga. ► This is the only terrane in the North China Craton where both early and late Neoarchean supracrustal rocks occur together.
