Short summary
We introduce a zircon U‒Th‒Pb chronological database of the global continental crust. This database provides comprehensive research materials for Earth system science in deep time and space due to its large amount of data (~2 million records), long time span (4.4 billion years), global sampling range, comprehensive zircon samples, and various dating instruments.
