The Cape Rawson Formation is a geologic formation in Nunavut. It preserves fossils that date back to both the Ordovician and Devonian periods. Because the Blue Fiord Formation lies on top of the formation, it has been determined that it predates the middle Devonian Period. It is located on the southern portion of the Ellesmere Island in Canada.
