Mt. Carmel fault? Carmel fault is in Israel.

This was norh of Indianapolis, so I’m thinking it’s the Fortville. But I’m not a seismologist, nor am I a licensed Professional Geologist in Indiana, so this isn’t any professional opinion. :-)

Indiana University geologist Michael Hamburger told Indianapolis television station WTHR that the temblor occurred in an area “that’s seismically very quiet.”

Rusty Baldwin of USGS agreed that it was unusual. He said there are no known fault lines in the area where the quake was centered.

Baldwin said two quakes had been reported within 60 miles of the epicenter in years past, including a 3.8 quake in 2004 and a 3.0 quake in 1990.

“They can happen pretty much anywhere” where stresses build up in the earth’s crust, he said.

There's an entire mountain range still intact buried under the limestone!

It's got everything any mountain range has including continental type fracturing all the way to the upper mantle.

The faults are interconnected, but last time I looked they are NOT connected to the main Mississipi Fault or the cluster around New Madrid.
