![Example of how probability distributions for the times of earthquakes (shown in green) in Figure 5 are calculated using maximum and minimum limiting 14C ages (listed in Table 1) with the program OxCal (version 4.1; Bronk Ramsey, 1995, 2009) and the 14C calibration data set of Reimer et al. (2009). Based on our correlation of earthquake D of Nelson et al. (2003a) on the Toe Jam Hill fault with the older of the two earthquakes on the Waterman Point fault, we selected the most closely limiting maximum and minimum ages for earthquake D (sites discussed in text) as labeled in the figure. The gray distribution for each age is the original probability distribution for each calibrated age. Black distributions show how distributions shift as a result of the OxCal analysis. Seven ages from correlated sites are close maximum ages for earthquake D. Based on stratigraphic position, two ages are minimum ages for earthquake D and also maximum ages for earthquake E on the Waterman Point fault. The age from the Blacktail trench is a minimum age for earthquake D only if the dated charcoal in scarp colluvium was deposited in response to scarp folding during earthquake D; because the charcoal is detrital, it could be older than its host sediment. Two other ages are close maximum ages for earthquake E. To illustrate this interpretation of the timing of earthquake E, we used OxCal to calculate a skewed probability distribution (see text).]()
