I know Tom. The compressional area is considered to be farther east. Marmara Sea has been considered extensional, although of course the right-lateral slip is much larger than the fault-perpendicular motion. Marmara is considered by some to be a series of pull-apart basins assocated with bends in the right-lateral fault. Occam's razor has also been called the principle of least astonishment....... Chris
