Abstract
Abstract A moderate earthquake ( M w =6.2) caused substantial damage in the town of Dinar at 17:57 UT, on October 1, 1995. Surface rupture has been observed to be discontinuous for 10 km along the NW-trending Dinar fault segments. The surface rupture has consisted of nearly vertical cracks up to several tens of meters long and a meter wide that display linear, sigmoidal and anastomosing geometries indicating the mechanism of displacement on the fault plane. Most of these cracks display a dip-slip component of displacement (0.05–0.6 m); those with anastomosing geometries indicate a large dip-slip (>0.25 m). Sigmoidal crack patterns show both right and left strike-slip (rotational) component of displacement and a small dip-slip (
