[When referring to the Bodeville series of Comstock and Dumble (1890), please use informally. The practice of employing "Series" for lithostratigraphic or lithodemic nomenclature is now regarded as improper (ACSN, 1961, 1970; NACSN, 1983, 2005, 2021). The term "Series" is applied formally only to chronostratigraphic units.]
