Las Vegas lies on a fault line?
I thought Las Vegas was a no fault zone.

I have felt a couple of these larger quakes centered near the ghost town of Aurora on the Nevada/California border.

My old stompin’ grounds...felt my first temblor there in Hawthorne, like a wave. Didn’t care for it much, but preferred it to the tornados and T-storms in Texas.

Magma could be pushing up from deep below.

When I said no fault zone, I wasn’t thinking of earthquakes.

It appears my attempt at humor went flat. Guess I won’t quit my day job.

Basin and range territory. Its not far from the Aurora Crater. There are several known faults nearby (including the rattlesnake flats fault) but these are not located directly on any known fault. There is a basin area to the north. If you look at it on google there are some open pit mines in the area. (Borax? rare earths? sand and gravel?)
Look forward to the explanation. Does this have something to do with the mining? Beginnings of a magma intrusion and new volcano? Something more Sci Fi....perhaps worms seeking spice in the basin, or the mining has disturbed the old ones who are arising from their long slumber....

Normally I pipe in on these with the nothing to see here.
This time around there is an unusual component to this in that the line of apparent aftershocks is trending NE-SW which is 90 degrees to the regional trend of NNW-SSE. I initially though this could represent the development of a strike-slip system, however, all the moment tensors indicate normal faulting.
This will keep the seismologists at the UNR and USGS scratching their heads for a while.

Beginnings of a magma intrusion and new volcano? These are shallow quakes, volcanic activity would have deeper activity along with distinguishable harmonics.

Hawthorne has a VERY large weapons depot.
