Thoughts on my impressions?
It seems the M7.5 #TurkeyEarthquake aftershock ruptured a different fault (or segment?) than the M7.8.
M7.8 -most likely a left-lateral event on a NE-SW fault (blue circle on image, from USGS)
M7.5 -95km to the N, most likely along an east-west left lateral fault
Now trying to place these over the known fault maps and it's messy!
Hello Mastodon, or is it Tootland? I'm so confused...I will just blunder on, confused as usual!
