The exposed rocks are located between Hongwuyueqiao and Glacier No. 1 on the northern side of the Bingdaban peak [12]. Based on the 1:200,000 geological map [26], Bingdaban consists primarily of two sets of rock assemblages: a mélange matrix and ophiolitic tectonic remnants. The mélange matrix is predominantly composed of Paleozoic intrusive rocks, including deformed granodiorite, undeformed porphyritic granite, quartz diorite, and andesite diorite, which have been affected by late ductile shear deformation and commonly exhibit varying degrees of mylonitization. Similar to other typical ophiolites, the Bingdaban ophiolite has been dissected and exists as individual tectonic blocks with relatively complete ophiolitic rock sequences. These tectonic blocks are mainly exposed in the north of Wangfengdaoban, and are mainly composed of gabbro, diabase, and basalt tectonic blocks, which are bound in a hybrid matrix composed of volcanic and sedimentary rock series to form a mélange belt, and have been transformed by low-grade greenschist to greenschist facies metamorphism.
