The Pine Point Formation is a stratigraphical unit of Givetian age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. It takes the name from Pine Point, a promontory (and former townsite) on the south shore of the Great Slave Lake, west of Fort Resolution, and was first described in outcrop on the shore of the lake between Pine Point and Fort Resolution by A.E. Cameron in 1918.
