The formation comprises a belt extending for over 600 km along depositional strike and 150 km perpendicular to strike. The manganese deposits are located in a rift belt on the margin of the Yangtze Craton. The Datangpo Formation is interbedded between two sequences that have been interpreted as glacial diamictites.
