Comments
Slip rate (0.15mm/yr) based on dip-slip offset of late Tioga lateral moraine reported in Clark, et al. (1984). Slip rate is for small branch fault; unconstrained slip rate of 0.5mm/yr assumed for entire fault zone. Dip changed to 50 degrees in 2007 based on recommendation of WSSPC for Basin and Range faults.
