U-Pb zircon geochronology and whole rock geochemistry data for Auminzatau and Kuldjuktau mountains, Kyzylkum desert, Uzbekistan
These U-Pb zircon geochronology and whole rock geochemistry data were collected as part of a bilateral campaign of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) with the Uzbekistan Ministry of Mining, Industry, and Geology (MinGeology; formerly GOSCOMGeology) to support a new quantitative/qualitative mineral resource assessment for tungsten, gold, rare-earth elements, graphite, and uranium in the Auminzatau and Kuldjuktau mountans of Uzbekistan. These mountains are located in the Kyzylkum desert in the westernmost part of the geologically complex and mineral resource-rich southern Tien Shan orogenic belt. Samples were collected by members of MinGeology in December of 2020 and by members of the USGS in April of 2022. Geochronology samples were analyzed at the USGS-Denver Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (G3) Plasma Lab in 2022, and geochemistry samples were analyzed at SGS Canada in 2022.
