I posted reply to Redhart on groans and showed the
quake was within the Murray fracture zone.

Well, except the quake was a full 100 mi south of the
murray fracture zone.
Murray is a transform fault..you wouldn't see a quake
caused by it 100 mi away.
Maybe there's an unknown fault, but it would be a
different one.
heres my reply with co-ordinates:

notice the location, 31.510N X 133.351W
notice the info description of location of Murray
fracture zone:
"Murray Fracture Zone, submarine fracture zone in the
Earth’s surface, a long mountainous lineation on the
North Pacific seafloor. The zone trends east-northeast
for 1,900 miles (3,000 km) from latitude 28° N,
longitude 155° W (north of the Hawaiian Islands) to the
base of the continental slope off Los Angeles. Maximum
relief of the feature is about"
https://www.britannica.com/place/Murray-Fracture-Zone
So its within the definition of where the fracture zone
is located .
Who is saying the quake was caused by the fracture
zone? it is a transverse fault. Anyways, I;ll be
looking forward to see what Lowell Whiteside has to say
about it when he does his summary on it.

if you just look at the map, and use the legend
distance guage..it is approx 100 mi so.
It's a transform fault..it would not be 50 mi wide on
each side.
A transform fault is a clear line...rather than a whole
underlain region like a subduction fault, or even a
wider ridge like a spreading ridge fault.
It always has a much narrower band of associated
seismic activity "directly" attributed to that
transform fault.
Also, the type of focal mechanism does not back up a
straight up transform movement. It shows a type of
expansion movement with vertical component not
generally associated with a pure transform fault.
which is why we are probably looking for at least a
different fault with a different kind of movement (if
not something like methane emmission explosion or a
volcanic origin).
That is my reasoning.

my comment
Oh yes I looked/studied the map and noted the
long/latitude for the quake and what the given
long/latitude definition of the MFZ is as i posted link
for such. Theres the discrepency. And so that is your
theory, which is a theory of some others too,
https://oceanrep.geomar.de/id/eprint/33265/
I guess we'll find out one way or another in this
lifetime or the next what it is! Lol and or methane/gas
explosion and or volcanic related.
