RESUMEN. En los alrededores de la Bahia Herradura, en Chile (29°59'S), enormes bloques, incluidos en los depositos de playa de una terraza marina del Pleistoceno medio, indican la ocurrencia de un maremoto de amplitud excepcional. Fue un acontecimiento fuera de lo comun que se produjo una sola vez en todo el transcurso del Plio-Cuaternario.
