Dataset description: Faults - Point Sur to Point Arguello, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the faults of the Point Sur to Point Arguello, California, region. The vector data file is included in the "Faults_PointSurToPointArguello.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/P97CZ0T7. Faults in the Point Sur to Point Arguello region are identified on seismic-reflection data based on abrupt truncation or warping of reflections and (or) juxtaposition of reflection panels with different seismic parameters such as reflection presence, amplitude, frequency, geometry, continuity, and vertical sequence. Faults were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey between 2008 and 2014.
