Evaluating Surface Faulting Chronologies of Graben-Bounding Faults in Salt Lake Valley, Utah- New Paleoseismic Data from the Salt Lake City Segment of the Wasatch Fault Zone and the West Valley Fault Zone (SS-149) PECO Map and the area(s) estimated toBy: Christopher B. DuRoss and Michael D. Hylland The Salt Lake City segment (SLCS) of the Wasatch fault zone and the West Valley fault zone (WVFZ) are Holocene active faults that have evidence of large magnitude (M ~6 7) surface faulting earthquakes. Paleoseismic research trenches at the Penrose Drive site on the SLCS and Baileys Lake site on the WVFZ provided data that shed light on the faulting behavior and interaction of these graben forming fault
