Epicenters and focal mechanisms of earthquakes recorded by the Swiss Seismological Service in the northern tip of the Jura FTB between 1984 and 2021 (May 26th). Locations are absolute relocations obtained using the new 3D Pg + Sg velocity model of Diehl et al. (2021). Events and focal mechanisms discussed in the text (bold labels) are Saint-Ursanne (URS), Grenchen (GRE), Neuchâtel (NEC). T axes with plunge ≤ 20° are also plotted color-coded by the depths of the associated earthquakes. Background colors outline major tectonic units. Red lines indicate faults adopted from Heuberger et al. (2016), Mock and Herwegh (2017), Vouillamoz et al. (2017) and Swisstopo (2005)
