The Ediacaran stratum in the Yangtze Gorges area, South China is well-known as it represents the most complete and continuous succession with abundant micro- and macrofossils in China. According to several accurate isotopic ages, great progresses of the chemostratigraphy and biostratigraphy in recent years, the authors suggest that the Ediacaran should be subdivided as two series and five stages based on biostratigraphic data and δ¹³C excursion. According to the bio-stratigraphy and characteristics of stable carbon isotope stratigraphy, a preliminary correlation of the Ediacaran succession between the Yangtze Gorges and other typical areas has been discussed.
