Dakota Formation is the broadest classification of the earliest Western Interior Seaway formations, having the widest use and is inclusive of the non-sandstone beds. Dakota Group is used where members are sufficiently developed to be assigned formation rank; and as particularly used in and around Colorado, the groups can include formations younger and older than those considered by other states as included in the Dakota sequences.

Dakota Sandstone is the narrowest classification and in general use refers only to rock from sandstone beds in the Dakota Formation.
