The Crows phosphate occurrence is located east of Alexander Creek and approximately 4.9 kilometres west of Phillips Peak in the Crowsnest Pass area.

Regionally, the area is underlain by a series of generally north-trending sedimentary rocks including dolomitic carbonate rocks of the Mississippian Etherington, Mount Head and Livingstone Formations (Rundle Group) and Pennsylvanian to Permian Rocky Mountain Group, fine clastic sedimentary rocks of the Triassic Spray River Group, undivided sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Fernie Formation and undivided sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Kootenay Group.

Locally, thin phosphoritic beds occur at the base of the Jurassic Fernie Formation shales and above the basal contact with the Triassic Spray River Group. Beds are thin but persistent oolitic sandstones.
