The Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean, which has been closing gradually from the west to the east beginning since the Late Paleozoic, was an important part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. It influ-enced the tectonic framework of Northeast Asia in the Mesozoic, especially the Late Mesozoic arc-basin system that is widely distributed in the Great Xing'an Range. However, the manner in which the Mon-gol-Okhotsk Ocean affected the sedimentary basin development remains poorly understood. To ad-dress this issue, we conducted U-Pb dating of detrital zircon deposited sedimentary basins of the cen-tral Great Xing'an Range. By examining the possible provenances of the detrital zircon and the struc-tural controls of the basins, we found that a key sedimentary unit was deposited around Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous. Its provenance was a felsic source in a back-arc setting of an active continental mar-gin. The findings also suggest the existence of a unified geodynamic setting that affected the coeval de-velopment of basins in the northern Great Xing'an Range and the Yanshan fold-thrust belt along the northern margin of North China Craton. This research helps to better understand the complex tectonic processes which shaped the Northeast Asia during the Late Mesozoic.
