  • Title: Evidence for 115 kilometers of right slip on the san gregorio-hosgri fault trend.
    Author: Graham SA, Dickinson WR.
    Journal: Science; 1978 Jan 13; 199(4325):179-81. PubMed ID: 17812950.
    Abstract:
    The San Gregorio-Hosgri fault trend is a component of the San Andreas fault system on which there may have been about 115 kilometers of post-early Miocene right-lateral strike slip. If so, right slip on the San Andreas and San Gregorio-Hosgri faults accounts for most of the movement between the Pacific and North American plates since mid-Miocene time. Furthermore, the magnitude of right slip on a Paleogene proto-San Andreas fault inferred from the present distribution of granitic basement is reduced considerably when Neogene-Recent San Gregorio-Hosgri right slip is taken into account.
