Highlights: [•] Zircon age-spectra are presented for Ordovician – Devonian south Siberian detritus. [•] Neoarchaen – Palaeoproterozoic zircons were derived from the Siberian Craton. [•] Neoproterozoic zircons were mainly derived from south Siberian inliers and belts. [•] Palaeozoic zircons were derived from the Altai–Sayan fold-belt. [•] Zircon provenance changed from Siberian to Altai–Sayan domination during the Devonian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
