| Notes | Maps, drawings of core samples. Describes studies on the Necanicum, Nestucca, Siletz and Yaquina bays, which were correlated with earlier work he did on Netarts and Alsea Bays. Found up to six paleoseismic events in the last 2600 years, most of which could be correlated from bay to bay. This work suggests that the magnitude of prehistoric earthquakes in the region was around 8.1. |
