Köppen climate type:
Sulfur-associated ore deposits, now exhausted, generally occur in the Middle Ordovician thick-bedded carbonates along the front of the Kepingtage thrust belt. The host carbonates were commonly subjected to intense fracturing and brecciation, forming numerous fractures/fissures. Limestones are dominated by abundant peloids with minor bioclasts cemented by early marine sparry calcite. Some grains are truncated by calcite-filled tectonic fractures. The high-amplitude stylolites are present preferentially in more argillaceous parts and often charged by bitumen/organic materials.
