D. Oldham, the seismologist best known for first quantifying the diameter of the Earth's core using seismic waves, provided a description of the surface rupture of an active fault at the southeast end of the Kashmir Valley. Intriguingly, he described it as a normal fault parallel to the strike of the trend of the Himalaya, with 2 m of slip that had impounded several sag ponds.
