Abstract
Anomalously large far field tilts were observed during the Pt. Mugu earthquake of February 21, 1973. The magnitude and pattern of tilting is not explained by a simple elastic dislocation model using reasonable source parameters for this event. Dynamical triggering of small displacements on a fault well exterior to the epicentral region is offered as an alternative explanation to the observed large tilts.
