The Pika Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Middle Cambrian age that is present on the western edge of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta and British Columbia.[3] It was named for Pika Peak near Lake Louise in Banff National Park by C.F. Deiss in 1939.[2] It is fossiliferous and preserves several genera of trilobites.[4] Outcrops of the Pika Formation can be seen in Banff and Jasper National Parks.[5]
