Ephesus normal fault surface.
Posted by Island Chris on September 30, 2012 at 10:35:19:

I've seen pictures of fault surfaces in Greece this big, but was just at an outcrop of the slickensides (polished rocks with direction of slip wildly obvious) that was about 50 m-high (to 100 m high) and maybe 200 m-long.

This outcrop is a few hundred meters from the Greek then Roman City of Ephesus. Ephesus was damaged/partly destroyed by earthquakes in 3rd century CE (=AD) and I think 3 more in 5th century. One would think the quakes could have been on this fault, but I don't know that.

Check out the Artemis statue and what is on her chest.
