High-precision ID-TIMS U-Pb dating yields deposition ages of the Laoshanya Formation (Yangjiaping, South China) between 809 and 804 Ma.• Discordant paleomagnetic directions in the red beds are a conflation of three temporally distinct field records residing in hematite.• Our results do not support rapid true polar wander or abnormal magnetic field geometry around 805 Ma.
