Re: Reno earthquakes:UNR-seismo lab

Link is University of Nevada Reno. Interesting maps/figures but still no focal mechanism that I can find.
The orientation of faults on the fault map (N-S) and the way they link to NW-SE faults make me suspect an extensional zone linking right-lateral faults...so I would expect the quakes to be normal slip mostly.
