| Notes | The authors describe in detail marsh sediments indicating major deposition from tsunamis from the Necanicum, Nestucca, Siletz and Yaquina Rivers, and correlate them with sediments from Netarts Bay, Alsea Bay and Coos Bay. This evidence supports the view that there have been six major subduction zone earthquakes on the north Oregon coast in the last 2,800 years. |
