recorded near Imzourene. Felt from Tetouan to Nador and as far
south as Fes. Felt (V) at Melilla and (III) in many parts of

Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaen and Madrid. Also felt in
Gibraltar. This earthquake occurred near the eastern end of the

of surface cracks indicate left-lateral strike-slip faulting on
