Cajon Pass

Nice little group of quakes in the Cajon Pass. Not quite placed on the San Andreas, but then these automatic solutions are never perfect, and the SA does have a slight dip if I recall correctly.

The focal mechanism is oblique reverse right-lateral . If the NW-SE nodal plane is the fault plane, it indeed dips NE and thus could be on or close to the San Andreas proper:

No, not the mammal with teeth and claws.
