The depositional age for the Wanzi Group is further constrained as 1.95–1.93 Ga and the Central Zanhuang Domain as 2.03–1.90 Ga.
The protoliths of meta-carbonates were deposited in a proximal and shallow marine environment.
The Wanzi Group was deposited in a forearc basin and the Central Zanhuang Domain was formed in a back-arc basin.
The positive excursion of δ13C values in the Fuping area is possibly related to the Lomagundi or Jatulian Event.
