Abstract

According to new data of field observation, the youngest detrital zircon age and magmatic zircon age, four Precambrian blocks have been recognized in the Xing’an-Mongolia orogenic belt (XMOB), including the Erguna block (EB), Xing’an-Airgin Sum block (XAB), Songliao-Hunshandake block (SHB), and Jiamusi block (JB).
