Paleoseismites

Seismites represent sediments or sedimentary horizons that have been modified by the energy of earthquakes. Prehistoric seismites are often called paleoseismites or ancient seismites. I recently purchased a wonderful book about seismites and suggest it to anyone interested in this fascinating phenomena: "Ancient Seismites" edited by Frank R. Ettensohn, Nicholas Rast and Carlton E. Brett (Special Paper 359, Geological Society of America, 2002).
