Thanks for the correction, John. Either way, it’s longer than I’ve been around. The narrative has been updated, accordingly.

One correction on your narrative above: replace the two instances of “million” below with “thousand”. The criteria for declaring a fault extinct is no movement in one hundred thousand years.

“Geologists have determined the last activity of the fault by the layer of rubble immediately above the San Mateo formation, which has remained relatively undisturbed for about 120 million years. By definition, an “inactive” fault has had no major activity for 100 million years, so the Cristianitos fault clearly falls into the inactive category.”

Cheers!

JB
