Jiyuan Basin is located in the north of Qinling orogen and regarded as a Triassic-Jurassic synorogenic basin. This paper presents a great number of detrital zircon U-Pb ages for synorogenic sediments in age ranging from the Middle Triassic to Middle Jurassic in the Jiyuan Basin. Integrated with the data reported from Hefei and Huangshi basins, it is well established that the intensity of unroofing increased from the west to the east in the Early Jurassic, and the denudation timing of the ultra high pressure (UHP)-high pressure (HP) rocks or Carnian plutons changed successively from the Early Jurassic in the east to the Middle Jurassic in the west.
