The Crowsnest Formation, also called the Crowsnest Volcanics, is a well-known outcroping of volcanic rock in southwestern Alberta, Canada. These volcanics were formed about 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period and is estimated to cover a volume of 209 km3 (50 cu mi). These volcanics are older than the Rocky Mountains and are essentially the eroded remnants of an alkaline volcanic center that was erupted in a fluvial environment.
