Description :
Eleven backhoe trenches were excavated across six Quaternary fault scarps on the northeastern margin of the Basin and Range extensional tectonic province. Fifteen palaeoseismic events can be recognized, bracketed by radiocarbon or thermoluminescence ages. Estimates of future rupture potential for individual faults vary, depending on the presumptive model chosen.
