The San Joaquin Fault is a seismically active geological structure in the California Central Valley, USA. [ [http://quake.usgs.gov/info/faultmaps/fault217.html San Joaquin Fault] ] East of the San Joaquin fault there is a flow pattern of alluvium that has been reported to be a mud flow. [C.Michael Hogan, Marc Papineau, Ballard George, et al., "Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Residential and Commercial Development at the Westley Interchange", Earth Metrics Inc., Report 10529C, California State Environmental Clearinghouse, Sacramento, Ca., July, 1990] This flow pattern was deposited in the early Holocene or the late Pleistocene age.
