TYPE OF FAULT: right-lateral strike-slip
LENGTH: 17 km
NEARBY COMMUNITIES: Landers, Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms
MOST RECENT SURFACE RUPTURE: Holocene
SLIP RATE: roughly 0.5 mm/yr
INTERVAL BETWEEN MAJOR RUPTURES: unknown
PROBABLE MAGNITUDES: ML6.0 - 6.5
OTHER NOTES: Can be considered a southeast-ward continuation of the Emerson fault. Rupture along both faults would produce a larger quake than the Copper Mountain fault could produce alone.
