The Wapiti Formation is a geological formation in northwestern Alberta, Canada whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[1] The Wapiti Formation does not produce many fossils due to limited surface exposure and accessibility, although two Pachyrhinosaurus bone beds have been productive.[2]
