Source parameters of an earthquake with magnitude mb = 4.4 were determined by using surface waves. Small but clear surface wave signals were observed on long period records gathered from seismograph stations within an epicentral distance of about 2000 km. The focal mechanism was determined to be of strike-slip type with the maximum and the minimum compression axes trending NNW–SSE and ENE–WSW, respectively. The focal depth was determined to be near either 3 or 20 km.

abstract The Attica, New York earthquakes of January 1, 1966 and June 12, 1967 are studied in detail to obtain their focal mechanisms, depths and seismic moments. Both events have similar source parameters with one nodal plane striking about 120° and dipping 60°S and the other nodal plane striking about 20° and dipping 70°E. The fault motion on the NNE nodal plane has a component of right lateral strike slip and one of reverse faulting. Though this nodal plane parallels the Clarendon-Linden structure, the possibility of associating the other nodal plane with a diffuse east-west seismicity trend cannot be excluded. The shallow focal depth of 2 to 3 km for these two events can be used as an explanation of the relatively high epicentral intensity VIII of the Attica event of 1929.

The area herein described is that part of New York State lying south of Lake Ontario, and west of longitude 76°. The dimensions of the area are, approximately, 95 miles north and south and 155 miles east and west, or nearly 15,000 square miles. The rocks are shales, sandstones, and limestones of the Upper Silurian and Devonian systems. The strike is nearly east and west, with a southward dip averaging perhaps 50 feet to the mile.
