“…The contact between the Tertiary bedrock and the overlying sequence of alluvial, colluvial, and eolian deposits on the footwall block is exposed in the trench (pl. 5) and also is encountered on the hanging-wall block at about a depth of 39 m in borehole UE-25p #1 (Muller and Kibler, 1984). A fault was encountered in the borehole at a depth of 81 m. These data indicate that the average slope of the bedrock surface is about 45° to the northwest, and the average dip of the fault is about 65° to the northwest.…”
