A. Munter G. A. Ludvigson B. J. Bunker Iowa Geological Survey Iowa Geological Survey Donald L. Koch Director and State Geologist 123 North Capitol Street Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Foreword An assessment of the quantity and quality of water available from the Dakota (Sandstone) Formation 1n northwest Iowa is presented in this report. The as sessment was undertaken to provide quantitative information on the hydrology of the Dakota aquifer system to the Iowa Natural Resources Council for alloca tion of water for irrigation, largely as a consequence of the 1976-77 drought. Most area wells for domestic, livestock, and irrigation purposes only partial ly penetrated the Dakota Formation. Consequently, the long-term effects of significant increases in water withdrawals could not be assessed on the basis of existing wells. Acquisition of new data was based upon a drilling program designed to penetrate the entire sequence of Dakota sediments at key loca tions, after a thorough inventory and analysis of existing data. Definition of the distribution, thickness, and lateral and vertical changes in composition of the Dakota Formation has permitted the recognition of two mem bers. Additionally, Identification of the rock units that underlie the Dakota Formation has contributed greatly to our knowledge of the regional geology of northwest Iowa and the upper midwest.

The taxa recovered include: (1) an indeterminate plesiosaur taxon; (2) the rare pliosaurid plesiosaur Brachauchenius lucasi; (3)(3) a pteranodontoid pterosaur, which constitutes the earliest occurrence of a fl ying reptile in Kansas; and (4) the rare aquatic lizard Coniasaurus. Several morphologic characters of B. lucasi areare clarificlarifi ed:ed: anan apomorapomorphyphy inin tthehe paddlepaddle ofof B. lucasi where both the fourth and fi fth metapodials intrude on the mesopodial row is noted for the fi rst time; and striations of tooth enamel vary from the tooth crown to the root and from the front to the back of the tooth. Additionally, the stratigraphic occurrence of B. lucasi suggests that the minimal stratigraphic range for that species is from the late Cenomanian through middle Turonian.
