With the growing interest in source-to-sink sedimentary systems for economic purposes, researchers have focused more and more on modern environments, producing an ever-increasing amount of compositional data on river sediments.

The analysed samples are mostly located in Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America, with fewer examples from North America and Oceania.

The South China Sea (SCS), as the largest marginal sea in the Southeast Asia, is closely related to the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the evolution of Chinese rivers. In this study, we mainly collect published detrital zircon of Cenozoic sediments in the SCS (include Hainan and Taiwan Islands).

A total of 21,760 detrital zircon U–Pb data from 293 samples and 995 detrital zircon Lu-Hf isotope data from 22 samples were collected in this dataset, with the main study epochs being the Palaeogene and Neogene.
