more in 2021 report: https://earthjay.com/?p=10125

upon a night of reflection (getting over a cold so not thinking clearly) and the relocations, these appear to NOT be on the Mendocino fault. but probably along a north-south oriented right-lateral strike-slip fault in the North America plate.

#EarthquakeReport for M 4.9 #Earthquake near #Barstow southern #California

Upon further reflection, appears to be left-lateral earthquake sequence
possibly related to the Manix fault (?)

report here: https://earthjay.com/?p=11968

#EarthquakeReport for the M 4.9 #Earthquake east of #Barstow southern #California

looks like a right-lateral strike-slip earthquake mechanism (near the Calico fault)
