Ravenscrag Formation
The Ravenscrag Formation is a stratigraphic unit of early Paleoceneage in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. It was named for the settlement of Ravenscrag, Saskatchewan, and was first described from outcrops at Ravenscrag Butte near the Frenchman River by N.B. Davis in 1918.
The Ravenscrag Formation includes a wide range of vertebrate and plant fossils, as well as economically significant coal seams and clay deposits.
