San Joaquin Fault
The San Joaquin Fault is a seismically active geological structure in the California Central Valley.[1] East of the San Joaquin fault there is a flow pattern of alluvium that has been reported to be a mud flow.[2] This flow pattern was deposited in the early Holocene or the late Pleistocene age.[3]
