This Record presents new U Pb geochronological data, obtained via Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHRIMP), from nine samples of sedimentary rocks collected from the Paleo- to Neoproterozoic Birrindudu and Victoria Basins, and underlying basement from the Victoria River catchment region, northwest Northern Territory. The newly acquired U–Pb SHRIMP data are discussed and integrated with existing detrital zircon geochronology to assist in the determination of maximum depositional ages and sedimentary provenance during the evolution of the Birrindudu and Victoria Basins, and contribute to lithostratigraphic correlations with other Proterozoic basins across northern Australia (e.g., the greater McArthur Basin and the Centralian Superbasin, Walter et al., 1995; Munson et al., 2013; Carson, 2013; Munson, 2016).
