... of the Owens Valley earthquake of 1872 involved both dip-slip and right-lateral components of movement. The pattern of movement at Lone Pine in 1872 is opposed to the postulate of regionally systematic left-lateral movement along the east side of the Sierra Nevada during the Cenozoic, but does not prove...
