This link has Ross Stein saying the quake was on the San Simeon thrust fault. I hope he knows that the San Simeon surface fault is a right-lateral fault-I'll be real disappointed if he is disregarding all the research (including mine) that shows this. Maybe he is being general, meaning some thrust fault near San Simeon. But, back in the early 90s many at the USGS thought the Hosgri fault was a thrust fault. They would be wrong, clear and simple.

I don't know anything about the Oceanic fault. I could maybe dig it out of a paper, but maybe I'll just watch some football and wait to read about it....The student I am working on went north from Santa Barbara with a tectonic geomorphologist-no doubt to look for ground rupture. If the quake is really that shallow, it is likely to have some ground rupture......I think I'll get mass emails from SCEC tomorrow saying what the story is....Chris
