Coquimbo Formation Coquimbo Formation (Spanish: "Formación Coquimbo" ) is a Miocene and Pliocene sedimentary formation located in Coquimbo Region in Norte Chico, Chile. In the area of Tongoy the Coquimbo Formation was deposited in an ancient bay that was formed in a graben or half-graben, with a normal fault dipping east. Sea level changes during the Holocene have caused erosion to cut several marine terraces into the formation.
