The Bonnet Plume Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Canada's Yukon territory.[1] The thickness of the formation is known to be at least 1500 metres.[1] The formation is composed of sedimentary rocks including conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and coal.[1]

Dinosaur remains, including hadrosaurs[2] and ornithopods,[3] are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.[4]
