Data for: The interplay between climate and tectonics during the upward and outward growth of the Qilian Shan orogenic wedge, northern Tibetan Plateau

• Methods • The statistical U–Pb geochronology data for each of the samples • Figure A1. Images of typical facies represented in drill core samples. • Figure A2 Representative CL images of zircons from the 14 sandstone samples. The yellow circles show the location of the U–Pb analysis. Numbers are U–Pb ages in Ma. • Figure A3 U–Pb concordia diagrams for zircon grains of the 14 sandstone samples • Figure A4 Lithostratigraphy and well log data from Well S3 in the Suganhu basin.
