Hi Chris. ANSS is saying the quake was most likely on the Oceanic Fault.

The biggest problem with the news now days is that they always want to be the first when a story breaks. In doing so they never take the time to get all of the facts let alone get them straight. It’s a sad state of affairs. Take Care…Don in creepy town

“The earthquake likely occurred on the Oceanic fault zone in the Santa Lucia mountains of coastal Central California, north of the town of Cambria. The location of the earthquake is in a region with a history of frequent small and moderate shocks. A preliminary study of the elastic-waves radiated from the source indicates that today's earthquake was caused by reverse faulting. Rupture propagated to the southeast from the hypocenter over a distance of approximately 20 km. Previous shocks from the region have also been caused by reverse faulting or by oblique-reverse faulting. The largest historical earthquake in the vicinity of today's earthquake was the magnitude 6.2 Bryson earthquake of November 1952.”
