A growing body of evidence indicates that Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous plutons recorded changing sources during tectonic evolution of the Klamath Mountain province. The data set now includes U-Pb zircon ages and zircon trace element compositions determined by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Thirteen rock samples were dated, and these data refine thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) data where inheritance was problematic, or provide new U-Pb ages. Individual plutonic suites, previously defined on the basis of crystallization age, isotope and elemental compositions, and petrogenetic style, show characteristic inherited zircon age ranges and zircon trace element patterns....
