The Shennongjia Group is considered to be the best example of Mesoproterozoic in China with the exception of the Jixian section in Tianjin. Since it was formed roughly at 1400~1000 Ma, it is generally regarded as a potential candidate for missing stratigraphic records from 1320~1000 Ma in the stratigraphic table of China. Although the studies on chronostratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology (stromatolite formation and distribution) and paleomarine geochemistry of the Shennongjia Group have made remarkable progress in recent years, there is still no consensus on the division of this group. Based on the study of the Upper Precambrian in the Shennongjia and the Shennongjia 1200000 mapping scheme, this paper redefines the sequence of the Shennongjia Group through systematic studies undertaken in the past 10 years. It is concluded that the Shennongjia Group can be divided into three subgroups from the bottom to the top: the lower subgroup, the middle subgroup and the upper subgroup. The lower subgroup from the bottom to the top includes the Yingwodong Formation, the Dayanping Formation, the Macaoyuan Formation, the Luanshigou Formation, the Dawokeng Formation and the Kuangshishan Formation. The middle subgroup includes the Taizi Formation, the Yemahe Formation, the Wenshuihe Formation and the Shicaohe Formation. The upper subgroup includes the lower Songziyuan Formation and the upper Wagangxi Formation. The above sequence determination of the Shennongjia Group fully combine the characteristics and development laws of isotope chronology, sedimentary geological evolution, stromatolite morphological types and cyclic development, isotope and element geochemical anomalies. The results of this study are a summary of the research progress on the Shennongjia Group in the past 10 years. Although the basic conditions for establishing candidate stratotypes have been met, the Shennongjia Group not only lacks the stratigraphic ages of the top and bottom boundaries, but also fails to locate the underlying basement. Further comprehensive studies are needed in the future.
