The Paskapoo Formation is a stratigraphic unit of middle to late Paleocene age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. The Paskapoo underlies much of southwestern Alberta, and takes the name from the Blindman River (paskapoo means "blind man" in Cree). It was first described in outcrops along that river, near its confluence with the Red Deer River north of the city of Red Deer, by J.B.
