Locality type:
Köppen climate type:
The strata in the Zuluhong mine are mainly the lower Carboniferous Aksha Formation, comprising micrites, sandstones, siltstones, and slates. The Zuluhong intrusion are composed of monzogranite and granodiorite in the mining area and are formed at 320 ± 2 Ma and 309 ± 1 Ma, respectively. The intrusion was emplaced into early Carboniferous strata, has an irregular oval shape, and extends over an area of ~10 km2.
