Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Provenance shifted from a dominant northern source (Daqingshan-Wulashan) in the Middle Jurassic to multi-sourced northwestern inputs by the Early Cretaceous, fundamentally altering sediment composition. • Early Cretaceous paleocurrents opposed ore-fluid migration pathways, inhibiting mineralization and explaining the west-east transition of uranium hosts from Cretaceous to Jurassic strata. • Zircon Lu-Hf isotopes record deep crustal processes (NCC destruction, ancient crust recycling, juvenile magmatism) that preconditioned the basin for uranium enrichment.
